Mail Stuck in Outlook 2007 Outbox - Caused by Deleting Outlook Express?

Hi,

I accidentally deleted Outlook Express (and everything attached to it. The whole Office Express suite) thinking that I didn't need it since I already installed Office Professional 2007. It was causing problems when I was opening Office attachments in Outlook.

And that's when the problems started happening...

So now, I no longer receive emails in Outlook nor am I able to send. If I send an email, it just gets stuck in the Outlooks "preparing to send" as other threads have mentioned. It's bold an italicized. I've tried deleting it, resending, uninstalling Outlook, reconfiguring my email to Outlook...nothing has worked. I'm positive this has something to do with having deleted Office Express, but I can't seem to find ANYWHERE where to re-install that program. It seems I'm out of luck.

Any help? Thank you so much!
