Hi everybody!

I'm currently running WinXP-Pro SP1 (MSDN) and have installed Office XP-SP2 on it. When using Outlook, when I try to open emails that have any html, or graphics, pictures, basically anything but just straight text.. Outlook hangs, I get the hourglass waiting, so I give it a few minutes then outlook comes up (Not Responding). So I close it out. Reload in Safe-Mode, same prob.
I try the Detect and Repair, after that it'll work for a few times then start not responding again. I did the messenger fix (bypass),. I have NAV2002.
None of this happened before the WinXP SP1 update (slipstreamed xp-sp1 and did new install on everything). I have heard of NAV causing some probs, so I tried not loading NAV (disabled in msconfig from loading), still does it.
Anyone else have this prob? Any idears would help.
thanks guys

is this all happened after installing office sp2 ???

Actually no, started this before Office SP2. Did a slipstream on my both Winxp & officexp with the new SP's. Wiped Hdd, new installs.

aha, this happened to me a while ago.
for sure u may have chosen Word as the email editor, have ya? for me, as long as i opened plain text emails it was all right.
i think this is some sofware crash. as far as i can remember, this problem disappeared eventually, may be after i reinstall windows and other software a later time. anyway, it is really good: this post.
geeks will have answerz to this. :)

I really don't know because I use only Outlook Express ;)

What are the benefit for using Outlook 2002 ?

Thanks

good question, for real :)
i use Outook, because all the emails (with attachments as well) and other stuff goes to one PST file which i can burn to a CDR.
(don't ask what's the point of burning emails to a CDR :D cos they r valuable for me)

Better email handling, contacts, calender, lots of extras..try it out.
