Thanks for the thoughts. I use 2007 and have installed all updates as and
when they where issued and am certain I haven't missed anything. Having said
that the only "Cumulative" updates showing in my update histroy are for IE7
and Media Centre albeit there are plenty more there without being noteds as
Cumulative.
The point you raised about Outlook not closing properly has promted my
memory to the fact it does often come up with a message "A data file did not
close properly and is being checked for problems" - "Performance may be
affected while checking for problems". After this nothing else comes up to
say if it is fixed or if there is still a problem.
Assuming this could be the problem is there a way to check
outlook/autocomplete settings and, if so, can you recomend how to fix it.
