With the patch installed, normal users and power users on a windows 2003
server experience big problems with Outlook 2003:

The send/receive e-mails via pop3/smtp or Exchange and saving appointments
lead to run the windows installer, which is 'configuring' office.
E.G. if you receive 10 E-mails, the windows installer will launch 10 times
and it will take ages to complete. Sometimes the whole outlookt hangs and
must be closed manually.

I had a look with filemon on Outlook and coud find out, that the problem has
to do with the following files:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLFLTR.DAT
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLFLTR.DLL

Administrators have no problem using Outlook on the machine.

When KB906173 removed, outlook works fine again.

Any help is appreciated !

Thanks

If the patch is installed by an administrator, do things then work for
everyone else?
 
No, the patch was always installed by the Administrator. The installation
itself completed successfully.

Thank you

I am experiencing a similar problem.

Outlook 2003, SP2, Windows 2003 Sp1.

The junk email filter only works for Admin users, and not normal users. I
have re-installed office, and still have the problem. (I did not try it
without SP2)

I would be very grateful for any assistance.

Thanks
 
I have today upgraded to Junk-Email Filter KB905648 and experiencing the
same problem :(

Please, any help is appreciated!!!

Thank you

With the older Junk Email Filter KB895658 applied i have no problem running
Outlook.

It seems to be a bug brought in with KB906173 and all following Filter
updates.

Please MS, have a look at this.
