There are two email messages in my inbox. If I even touch either of
them, Outlook abends with a message saying:

Outlook.exe has generated errors and will be closed.

and

An error log is being generated.

These emails are from known contacts. I am fairly sure they are not
infected. In any case, Norton (Synamtec?) antivirus usually catches
viruses.

Is there anything I can do?

Is there anything in that error log? It took 30-40 seconds to write
out. Where is it?

Thanks

Dear,
Try Detect and Repair from Help menu. If that doesn't work then you may
need to reinstall the OL.

The Detect & Repair panel offers me a check box to "restore my
shortcuts". I can't find this described ih the help. What does it do?
Do I want it checked or unchecked?

Thanks

Dear,
There is nothing to worry on shortcuts - If you say yes OL will restore your
shortcuts on Outlook bar. If no then outlook will restore its original state.

I tried the Detect and Repair with the Restore my Shortcuts box
checked. After a few minutes, I got this message:

Error 1321. The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this
file:

c:\library\Software\office\PRO\disk1\PFiles\MSOffice\Office\1033\EMAIL.DOT

I am offered the choices of Cancel, Retry, & Ignore.

Now what?

Thanks

I am the only user. It's a laptop. It's connected to a 2-node p2p lan,
but nothing is installed over the lan.
