Outlook will not launch when I click on an email address. It has
always done so, but for some reason has stopped. When is try to send
emails from another program, the operations fail. Outlook works fine
for everything else.
 
when I go to that file, it is already there, but still when I hit an
email link, I get," operation failed."

Ok, I'm throwing this out while I keep looking for something that I vaguely
remember, I would try two things:

1) Change the default mail handler in IE to something else, say OE, ok all
the way out then go back in and change it back to Outlook.
2) Do a repair install of Outlook through Detect and Repair on the Help
menu.

What I'm vaguely remembering is that the problem was from a DLL not being
registered properly. Unfortunately, I'm not finding any evidence of that
being the cause of this at all, which, needless to say, is bugging me =)
 
I jumped to selection 2. and did a re-install. It worked! Thanks for
hanging in there with me. Many times and don't get a second answer to
my infrequent questions.
