Did you look at the Processes tab of Task Manager to make sure? Do you have
a PDA cradled? Do you have any desktop searches like Google Desktop Search
or Windows Desktop Search running?

Hi Brian.

I seem to have solved the riddle. I backup nightly, so I was able to
roll back my OUtlook files to the previous day. All went well until
Outlook started downloading a message that was using the calendar
function. It seems this message was causing the crashes. The e-mail
account that the message was using is accessible also by Webmail, so i
logged on and deleted the message. All seems well.

Are there known issues with such messages? Are there any preventive
steps i could take?

Best,

Bill
