I'm running Office 2003 on a single XP PC with a P4 processor, 2GB
RAM, 200GB free hard space etc using XP Home all fully patched. Until
recently, no problems. Now, Outlook will just decide to lock up and
tell me an error has occurred. It then sends a report to Microsoft,
shuts Outlook2003 down and re-opens it for me.

This has only been happening for a week or so - maybe from when I
installed IE7 and all the other patches?

Did you uninstall IE7 to see if that helped?
