Outlook 98 and Windows XP

OK, I have been all around the Microsoft supports pages,
many, many chat areas, and about a half dozen other sites
that I thought could help, but I still have not found an
answer to my confusing questions.

Everytime Outlook 98 is started on my system, which runs
Windows XP, in three minutes (to the second) I get an
error that reads "outlook.exe has encountered a problem
and must close...blah blah blah" I can move this error
window out of the way and continue to use Outlook except
it slows everything down including the other programs
running on my system. As soon as I either send or don't
send the report to Microsoft it closes the whole program.
When reopened it goes another three minutes and pops up
again.

When outlook is initially started my incoming mail comes
through. When this error message pops up, I have to click
the send and receive button for anything to come in or go
out.

In viewing the details it includes the appcompat.txt error
which it states will be sent to microsoft as well. The
full path is:
C:/Documen~1/user/locals~1/temp/wer3tmp.dir00/appcompat.txt

I have already uninstalled Outlook and reinstalled it. I
did not have these problems until we installed Windows
XP. I was running Windows 98. Our office has a main
server which we all connect to with one drive, but that
seems to work ok. Other users of XP in my office do not
have this problem. Any help or advice would be much
appreciated.

Outlook 98 was not design to work with Windows XP, even if it was working.
Try upgrading to Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2002.

Outlook 98 (in fact Outlook 97 through Outlook 2003) works fine with Windows
XP.
