Lisa:

I noticed that you are running Outlook on XP.  I am running Outlook on XP
Prof. and I am doing SETI analysis and am running my PC 24X7.  Have you
noticed any irregularities with XP and Outlook?

Running my PC 24X7 after about 4-5 days my Outlook gets very flaky looking.
For example:  when I scroll down a message the horizontal lines all blur
together.  And a few times I have gotten an out of memory error message.
Have you seen any of these irregularities?  When I reboot the system
everything is OK for about another 4-5 days.  I haven't seen any problems
with data / files getting corrupted.

Thanks,
Ken Janusz, CPIM

P.S.:  The temperature here in Hugo, MN is now -28 deg. F.
