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.
