data1.dat was not found

[Russell, Debbie, Brett & Jenna Rose]

Hi there,
I have two questions. Whenever I start up my computer after everything has
booted, I get this error message data1.dat was not found. The window says
wupdate.exe. Does anyone know what this is and how I fix this?
Second question: When I try to open outlook express, it takes a good two to
three minutes to open. Any suggestions on how to remedy this? Thanks, Debbie
