This just happened last night.
I clicked in the little search box [ ] on the toolbar and it crashed.
I thought, ok... no big deal a restart should fix that.
It still is happening.
Do I have to reinstall Outlook 2000?
Anyone ever have something stupid like this?
Everytime I go to certain webpages or start my computer up, Microsoft Office 2000 tries to configure itself for no apparent reason. When I start my computer up, the same thing loads, but Norton Systemworks doesn't "support that repair feature."
I don't think Microsoft's ever made anything that works 100%.
That isn't a Microsoft problem..it is a Norton Problem. I have the same exact issue and it started the day after I installed SytemWorks.Quote:

yea, but what about me!?
I don't have Norton... McAfee here.
Try repairing (in the uninstall option)
Optionally, use a restore point to get back any changes you might have made.
Finally I would recommend trying in Safe Mode and running a virus scan after opening Outlook.
Good luck.
Thanks Xell,
sounds like a plan... I also notice this happens from time to time
McAffee Anti-Virus got turned off, photshop is reset, have to redo color settings, prefs etc... sounds like I did get hit with something.
Let me know if I can help some more. I could do remote assistance if you are totally stumped.
Outlook 2k was crap. 2003 is waay faster.
Outlook pissed me off one time to many, so now i use Thunderbird.
funny, i run outlook2k3 on every computer here at the office and i dont have any program problems. just user issues such as "i cant find out how to put my signature in the message"
Yea, it's really been good to me.
Been using it for years without a problem... just one of those things.
It happens with any program.

Does Thunderbird track, appointments, e-mails, Task (to do lists), mutliple folders, rules for e-mail (ie. put jow blow's email in joe blows folder)?Quote:

Yea, I think it's good.
i love outlook
outlook express on the other hand blows ass chunks
tasks and appointments, no, but mozilla has also a basic calendar application (and for that, i use a plain agenda, much better :) )Quote:

from a working/organizational perspective Outlook is far superior to thunderbird...especially when you hook that sucker up to a server and the whole office can communicate better with meetings, requests and so much more. Thunderbird is just used like Outlook Express...perfect for a standard mail client. But who knows what newer versions will be like.
well, as a groupware application, i prefer lotus notes.
for calendar, i'm waiting for 30boxes to come out, it's supposed to be for calendars what gmail did for mail.
And due to nature of my work, i have to handle all workflow and group communication with web applications.
That's what I need to do.Quote:

well it's working now... after fiddling around.
I think it had something to do with McAfee Active Shield or something.
So I restored to 2 days ago.
When I restarted it said Active Shield was bad.
So I uninstalled McAfee / ReInstalled McAfee.
I still had the same crash in outlook.
I remembered something too... in McAfee, it says
'Windows Updates'
Enabled but not the recommended option. Enable
If you click on that, it enables widows updates and you can't disable it :confused:
So I went in and set windows updates in the System Menu to 'notify' and don't install.... now the McAfee message is back to what it was before.
Enabled but not the recommended option. Enable
whatever...
in the process of all of this, my Outlook Search box is now working.
Thanks.
I crashed Minesweeper once, it was l33t.Quote:

Unless anyone has a quick way of adding some more advanced junk filters to it without going through the idiot rules 'wizard'.
I HATE WIZARDS!!!
Outlook 2003 is well worth it, imo. all the same things you are probably used to but improved and more stable.
i can't believe you haven't gotten a free copy of outlook 2003, i must have like 7 copies. •i'm about to give you oneQuote:
