Default Problem with OE newsreader

The reply and forward buttons and menu commands have stopped working
properly. Just discovered it and I don't use them all that much, so I can
only guess that it began sometime in the last three weeks or so.

The "unexpected behavior" is that clicking on "reply" or "forward" brings
up
an error message: "The file: drive\directory\directory\outlook.pst could
not
be found."

The post new message and the reply to group commands are still working.

Many things have changed in the last three weeks, but the only possible
causes I can think of are five or six security patches to XP, and the
application of Serv. Pack 2 to Office 2003.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Mike




What's odd is the need for a *.pst file. From my understanding you can use
those
types of files to import or export data, such as moving from one PC to
another,
but not sure why the program would need the file on a regular basis. I
though
the pst files were only temporary text files. Maybe one of the security
patches
didn't finish up?

It is looking for Outlook.pst because OE's Address Book is set to share
Outlook's contacts.
