If you're having Outlook problems; you should know it shares components
with MS internet explorer, so you should keep IE up-to-date and fully
patched.  If you're running on win98, I think this means you're limited
to IE 5.5, and if that's so, you may fix your Outlook problems by moving
up to Windows XP, so that you can run IE 6.

Also, you can check for Outlook patches (or any MS Office component) at
http://officeupdate.microsoft.com where there's an automated update
checking tool similar to the Windows update feature (which btw does not
cover MS Office products, that's why you need to go to this separate
site).
