Set up Outlook as default email program

I am having trouble getting Outlook 2007 to be my program for email on my
home computer. I just installed Office 2007 from the CD and I cant get
Outlook to work. I am sure there are some settings that need to be changed,
but I cant figure it out from Outlook help.

Thank you

From the main window:
Tools -> Options -> Other
Check mark in "Make Outlook the Default Program......"
Click OK, ofcourse.

Pleae be explicit in describing what "can't get Outlook to work" means? We
can see your PC. You must describe everything that you did and exactly what
happens of you expect any help.

Oops. That's "can't".
