Hanging on Send or Save
I suddenly find myself unable to send or save emails in Outlook 2003.
When I hit either send or save, I get the status bar across the bottom left of the screen. Progress halts about a third of the way through the bar and it takes a good 5 minutes to get that far. In the meantime I can't return to my inbox or otherwise navigate Outlook. I've tried to work offline to no avail. I'm suspicious of some problem between Outlook and Word, i which the application is set to format my email. Or maybe the size of my Outlook file......At a loss....any suggestions would be appreciated. |

-Could be a problem with your pst file. There is a program somewhere on your computer called scanpst.exe. SEARCH for it. You will also need to locate OUTLOOK.PST. SEARCH for that also. Then reun scanpst.exe on otlook.pst (make a backup copy of outlook.pst first). If you find errors, scanpst will repair them. -If that doesn't work, try a "repair" of Office. It is an option under cotrol panel - add/remove programs - MS Office. Don't delete or change. Just repair. -Q: Have you added any new software or programs recently that could conflict? Come back with results. "CD" wrote in message ... I suddenly find myself unable to send or save emails in Outlook 2003.

Thanks --- On new softwa yes, just loaded the latest version of Skype. Interestingly, I loaded on both my laptop and my desktop. Both computers are having problems, though of a sufficiently different nature that I'm skeptical of a relation (my desktop now can't run windows media; the application tries to launch; than hangs, flickering incessantly as if it's trying to establish the stream and the rest of the machine is inaccessible. I can't even hard exit out and cancel the application). I'll have a go at running your suggested app and re-post results. Thanks again.
