Vista Tutorial - Word is set as my e-mail editor but Outlook 2003 has an error

I get the message that Word is unavailable, not uninstalled or is not the
same verison as Outlook. Word is working fine on its own and it is the same
version as Outlook but the e-mail editor wont work anymore. I have run repair
and detect on both outlook and Word but this did not help. I have gone to
tools/options and checked 'Use Microsoft Office Word to edit e-mail
messages' which has deselected its self evry time I look, but nothing will
make this programme work. I have never had a problem before and didnt change
anything. None of the solutions on offer work. Any suggestions?

We don't have many Outlook experts here, since this forum is
dedicated to Windows Mail. You might try an Outlook or Office forum.
