You can also configure it in the Options section of Outlook Today.

Thanks for your post. My problem was that I couldn't even find out how to
display Outlook Today in the first place. Anyway, I've found it under
"Shortcuts", and displaying it definitely solves the problem.

Thanks for your post. My problem was that I couldn't even find out how to
display Outlook Today in the first place. Anyway, I've found it under
"Shortcuts", and displaying it definitely solves the problem.

Does anyone know if MS fixed whatever was wrong (IE security update
KB931768, etc.)? I've found the "start up with Outlook Today"
solution is working but that is a work-around, not a solution.

I've observed a couple of rare glitches since this update (could be
related, or not).....my computer video goes out after "waking up" from
Standby/Hibernate...I hear the HD and fans spin up but monitor still
thinks it is asleep (TURN PC OFF/ON is only solution that's worked).
Again, this could be something else entirely (running XP SP2, Office
2003, fast PC). I noticed my wife's laptop (XP Pro with IE 7, and
installed the same KB931768 patch) won't load www.cbs.com webpage very
well, and can't get the video playback "Innertube" service to work.
Clicking a link to archived TV show, a window pops open and never
finishes loading. Doing this on my PC (with Mozilla, not IE) works
fine, had to install RealMedia drivers though. Again, just
observations that strangely coincided with the KB931768 patch issue.

FWIW... I've found that the culprit seems to be .NET 8o :x

After correcting this issue on more than 10 workstations, I've found that if I install ALL the .NET updates (sometimes requiring as many as 4 reboots to get them all). this corrects the issues & Outlook runs normally.

Let me know if this doesn't work for you, please.

Thanks!
