Katherine,

This is heading into OT territory, but I would do a full virus/trojan scan
on that machine immediately.
Also, make sure you are totally up to date with CRITICAL updates from
Windows Update.
While it's not the only cause of that error, MSBlaster and it's variants can
be responsible.

If it is Blaster and co., then any network that that machine has been hooked
up to could be infected too.

Regards

Thanks Christine.  That worked.  Plus it fixed the email thing.  I
figured there would be an "Options" or "Preferences" SOMEWHERE.  I just
couldn't find it.  Next, who do I talk to about the dumb computer having
to shut itself down on a regular basis because of a "remote Procedure
call service terminating unexpectedly" ?

I think this is going from the correct account, lets see...

Have you tried change the User information in Word?  It's
under Tools, Options, User Tab.  That should address the
user issue in MS Office.  I don't know about Outlook
thinking you're her. As for the Palm, if it is a Palm, not a
Pocket PC you need Pocket Mirror installed to sync a Palm to
Outlook.  It should have come with the Palm.  I think the
company is chapura.

Subject: [mso] Changing the default user--office
applications


Hey all.  I do have legit pc questions on a pc afterall.  I
was recently hired to be the Executive Director of a local
non-profit. Aside from not being able to figure out how to
sync my palm with my new Outlook at work, I have one major
problem: the old executive director is the user on all my
applications: I inserted a comment in Excel, it had her name
above my comment, Word defaults to her on address dealies,
Outlook thinks I'm her, and worst of all, I gave the Center
an email address from my own domain, set it up in Outlook,
put my name into the set up wizard, and then emailed myself
some stuff (though it was directly from word as I remember,
with that little button at the top) and it just came to me
at home with her name in the from column!  Without going
into personalities and history, suffice it to say that this
is a big deal.  Please help me figure out how to change it.
I saw when one of the applications came up that she has it
registered to herself, Executive Director.  I fear that I
will be unable to change it because of that.  Help me oh
wise ones!

I'd like to tell you what versions, but I'm afraid I don't
know, though, being a non-profit, I wouldn't be surprised if
it were Word 98  (I know it isn't for DOS!).  OS is XP Home.
