| Milly - that's great if you like doing that, but did you find a

| Thanks.

|||||| ||||||| Milly,
||||||| I have done this numerous times. I have:-
|||||||
||||||| * Gone back to the original driverthat came with the card
||||||| * Got the latest one from Nvidia (which appears to be properly
||||||| certified)
||||||| * Done the reinstall in safe mode to avoid problems with
||||||| Norton Anti-virus
|||||||
||||||| I have also established that I have the same problem in Safe
||||||| mode, which if Iam correct, doesn't use the Nvidia driver. I am
||||||| interpretting this as meaning it is an Outlook problem.
|||||||
||||||| What next???

||||||||| Milly,
||||||||| No custom forms. The only add-ins are ones that have worked

|||||||||
||||||||| I have Exchange Extensions& Windoes CE, plus Outlook

|||||||||
||||||||| I know it isn't to do with the pst fiules becuse I don't have

||||||||| Have you come across this before? Shouldn't either the
||||||||| Dectect & Repair, or the Re-install ahve fixed it? I really

||||||||||||||| I can no longer get into the drop down boxes in
||||||||||||||| Calendar. As soon as I move the mouse they vanish/close.
|||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||| I have tried Detect & Repair.
||||||||||||||| I have tried reinstalling over the top.
|||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||| The only thing that seems to affect it is I am running
||||||||||||||| an GeforceNvidia fx5200 graphics card with dualscreen
||||||||||||||| enabled, and when I changed some of these options it
||||||||||||||| started for a while. However, I have had Outlook working
||||||||||||||| fine on this system for nearly a year with no conflicts.
||||||||||||||| I ahve tried upgrading tothe latest driver.. and going
||||||||||||||| back to the original one, but neither make any
||||||||||||||| difference
|||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||| Can some clever person please help becasue I don't want
||||||||||||||| ot have to rebuild this system to get this working!
|||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||| Many thanks
