There you go. Outlook Express is not part of Office, at least with the 2000 version, Outlook Express is a free thing you get with Internet Explorer. Maybe you could try installing IE again. Or getting a updated version or try a service pack. Speed problems I have had with Outlook (that comes with Office) were because the Exchange Server was not available or the connection was slow.

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....
