What Office version on what o/s?
And does Event Viewer give any clues for the crashes?

For some reason outlook help files have stopped working. I continually get
a
message saying there is a problem with some files please repair, which I
have
done. I have tried uninstalling the whole office suite and reinstalling it
but it makes no difference I still cannot get the help files in any
MSOffice
application. Outlook and word seem to be crashing a lot as well.

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks
