Outlook/ME incompatibility?

Is there some kind of recognized incompatibility between
these two programs? I have ME 2000 and Outlook 2000. My
computer appears to be getting more unstable and "locks
up" at least a couple times a day. Often the screen just
goes blank when manuevering within or closing Outlook. Re-
booting is my only recourse as the "press any key to
continue" option never works when that page comes up after
failure.
Please help! My son says to just install XP as the new
operating system. I don't have an extra $400 bucks. It's
much cheaper to reboot but a pain the the a..!

Thanks
Phil
 
Are you refering to Win2000 or Win ME?
If Win2K and OL2K I have been running these for some time with no problems.
Win2K is usually very stable.
Perhaps your son has been 'playing' around with the sys, installing /
uninstalling games etc.
If the sys has the latest updates, does yr video card have updated drivers?
If yr sys has seen a lot of 'fiddling' about, perhaps you might want to
consider a format & reinstall.
You might try a registry cleaner, www.jv16.org , but take extream care in
its usage, as well as Defrag.
In anycase you should'nt upgrade an OS on a sys that has become unstable,
without a complete format.
