I am running Outlook 2002 SP3 on a Dell 4300 Pent. IV under Win XP Home. I recently installed Norton Internet Security 2004 which includes Norton Antivirus. I use Outlook as my primary e-mail program and it worked fine until recently when I attempt to launch the program I receive the following error message: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Runtime Error! Program: C:************OUTLOOK.EXE abnormal program termination." When I click OK the program exits to the desktop. The next time I try to start Outlook It does not show the error message, but it indicates that the Archive Folders were not closed correctly, it does a file check for errors, then the program works normally. The program always takes two attempts to start now. I have searched the MS Office knowledge bases, uninstalled (and re-installed) the Norton product, and checked Symantec's site for all the updates. Does anyone have any suggestions?
