Hi,

Could we try this step-

1.Get into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Outlook.exe .
2.Right click on Outlook.exe.
3.Click on Properties - Click on Compatibility .
4.Uncheck Run in 256 colours under display settings .
5.Click on Apply and Ok.

Restart the machine and try again.

Thanks,

Mittu

I stand corrected, slightly. It now happens throughout all of Outlook
although it started with just my email. This has almost acted as a worm or
virus as it started very spuratically and has increased in frequency over
time. I've been dealing with some form of this problem for at least the last
6 months and possibly up to the last year.
