I am running windows XP Pro and have office 2000 installed, my computer has been running fine for the last year or so.
I downloaded Avast Free to trial it and decided that because i liked it i would pay and upgrade.
After paying for Internet Security, since then when I open Outlook to get to my emails the program just Hangs upon opening or it opens and closes, I open it again and only half the screen boots i.e i can see the folders on the left (inbox,sent etc…) but the preview area is just blank.
Some times i need to shut it down and open it about 5 times before it will work.
I know if its going to work or not because if its going to work the buttuns appear along the top ‘Spam, not Spam, black list, white list’
Outlook never boots first time now.
It was working absolutely fine before and for the past year, I dont know that much about pc’s so if someone can help then please do!
don`t know if this will have any effect, but have you tried avast! repair ?
For a repair of avast. Windows, Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button from the pop-up window, scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.
