SYMPTOMS

When you start Outlook Express, the title screen indicates that the product is "Microsoft Outlook Express 5" even though you installed a later version of Outlook Express.

CAUSE

The title screen only reflects major product versions, such as version 4 or version 5. Versions 5.0, 5.01, and 5.5 are minor upgrades.
