Problem with e-mail setting

I have a Windows XP Pro system running Open Office 3.6. Outlook Express is the default mail program. Recently, I have had trouble sending a document as an e-mail using the "Send" tab under File or with the e-mail document icon in the toolbar. Previously I could click on the icon and Open Office would go directly to a new email message. Now, I get an error message with instructions to check my settings in both Outlook Express and Open Office. I also went through the instructions on the forum on changing the email client under the customs settings for access with the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel tool. When I opened the customs setting, it was set for "current" on each of the options. I changed that to Outlook Express for email, but I still get the error message. What do I do so I can click on the document email icon and send the document as a message?

Try Open Office support, that isn't a Firefox support issue.
