\New message generates error message "cant find file..." Why?

[Guest]

When I want toi draft a new message in Outlook I of course click on New
Message. Now I stratde getting "Can't find file. Make sure the path and file
name are correct."
I then click on that and my empty new message screen comes on. But why the
message? How can I get rid of it?

If you don't provide any configuration details we can only do wild guesses.

Version of Outlook?
Type of account?
Word or Outlook as the e-mail editor?
What add-ins do you have installed?
Does the error go away when you disable them?

Thanks so much. But I actually figured it out. It was the signature file it
couldnt find. I erased the siganture files and then reconstructed and
replaced them. It worked. Outlook had for some reason temporarily lost the
ability to find the signature files.

But many thanks!
