Please, please, help, the situation is critical, and way beyond my
understanding

I've worked with outlook ex. for more than 10 years, and never seen any
thing like that.

I installed a new computer in my LAN, a P4 2,4, with win 98SE, office 97
and outlook express 6 (SP1 - downloaded). Configured it to use some
folders previously saved (mbx message folders). Everything seemed
perfect, only that it refused to "Save" a message being composed to the
scratch (I don't know if "scratch" is the exact word used in the english
version, but I mean the folder were any saved message was supposed to be
placed). Outlook would "SAVE AS": save the message as a file, but by no
force in this world it would just SAVE. If one tried to close the
unsaved message, it would ask me if I wanted to save. I would answer
YES, and it would do NOTHING, not even close the message.

I TRIED EVERYTHING. Reinstalling Outlook. Deleting all folders.
Reinstalling Windows. Deleting everything and installing Outlook 5. But
the problem remained untouched laughing at all my efforts and
desperation. I am director of a large WEB site, which has more than
10.000 subscribers. Our working methodology involves SAVING while they
are being composed. I just CAN NOT STAY WITHOUT OUTLOOK EX. WORKING
PROPERLY.

In a desperate act, I tried to borrow a copy of WIN 2000 and install it.
Installed fine, but Outlook 5 persisted with the problem!

Now I see only two outcomes, either one of you good harts and brains
help me, or I will sell the computers, and go wash cars on the streets,
or maybe something worse....so please, if you will....

Thank You!!!!

André,

I suggest you post your question on an Outlook Express
newsgroup. Outlook and Outlook Express are two
completely different products and as a result it is
likely that you won't find anybody here that has the
expertise to answer your question.
