You guys are usually way above my level of knowledge and expertise, but an error like that has probably got NOTHING to do with Outlook. Outlook hooks into a heap of IE code (as does OE), and I'll bet that something is not right with your install of IE... Have you seen this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q318378 Also, is the SP2 the RC1 release, or an older beta? Was it installed as an upgrade or from an iso? Hope that helps... ;-) ____________________________________ Neil Atwood - Sydney, Australia -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Kenzig http://thin.net Sent: Thursday, 25 March 2004 4:13 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: OT: I've Had it with Outlook Drew S wrote: > See inline quotes... > > ***** > > RC> <Save Jim from giving up Outlook ON> > > Have you tried to reinstall Office? Yes! 4 times! Also tried unistalling and reinstalling Outlook Express.

I've backed up all mail and tried starting with a new PST. Twice. No luck! My PST's do get huge (225 meg and up) but my work Outlook doesn't have the problem. I am forced at work to use it since it is on Citrix. > JK> I can't afford 2003 right now so sorry Microsoft but I'm > JK> trashing it. > > Microsoft, by some twist of luck, sent me a free copy of Office 2003 Pro. I > LOVE Outlook 2003... Outlook XP was far better than 2000, and 2003 is better > than XP! :) The message is that Outlook Express is not installed. I'd love to give 2003 a whirl but my Ex wife(ya the one that was on Jerry Springer) is giving me woes right now and all my money is going to pay for a lawyer. That's another story. But the long and short is I can't afford it. If anyone from MS is out there that wants to keep me from switching send me a Outlook 2003 disk to PO Box 111223 Cleveland, Ohio 44111-1223 I love MS products but I can only take so much grief....
