after upgrading from IE7 to IE8, the OE shortcut in the IE toolbar stop working.
The program itself still works. When I run …\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe, OE opens with no problem.
How can I fix this problem in IE8?
Thanks in advance 
I would try to uninstall this update in your ADD-REMOVE PROGRAM if you still can. This is worst than virus. Me, I can’t roll back to IE7 and I don’t know if I’ll ever succeed in installing next IE8 final release. You shouldn’t install Microsoft beta releases, they aren’t supported by them.

There’s a topic that talks about this problem.
thanx guys
No problem, Let us know if you find a fix.
Yes, I just reinstalled Winows Vista. Back to good old IE7!!! Hard time with SP1, I think Comodo software conflicts. I had a bad time here! 8)
Uninstall Comodo. Use Windows Vista firewall meanwhile.
PCTools Firewall Plus also works well on Vista.
I’m still running with preinstalled Norton Security Suite and all my Vista updates are installing a charm. Comodo Firewall has too much strenght, it goes against Windows Update >:(
No probs here with Comodo firewall & Windows Updates.
U either must have blocked\tweaked somethin, try settin D+ into install mode before goin to WU.
Readin the extensive file will also help.
That’s basic, I tried it in install mode, it’s rather the D+ mode that even OFF is still on the background. In my case, even uninstalling Comodo and installing PCTools Firewall + didn’t help. Using registry cleaners can only mess more the mix. No, the solution for me was a fresh install avoiding Comodo and antispyware installations for the moment being (though unpleasant feeling somewhat “at risk”) :
