Outlook 2003 freezes, requiring frequent system reboots

[Fred]

OS Windows XP; Foxfire or IE7.
For the past month, shortcut links do not bring up Outlook 2003, and I have
to reboot. This may occur every 30 minutes
Even when into Outlook, cannot send/receive without reboot.
Got a message from Symantec (once) yesterday that WinFax PRO 10.02 ave, or
know about, WinFax, and have divorced myself from Symantec anyway.
Might upgrading to Outlook 2007 be an answer?

The report of a WinFax error coming up has been forwarded to Microsoft for investigation. We have not heard back yet what the solution is but it is on the MSFT side that gives you an incorrect error message when you obviously do not have WinFax installed.

Please be patient and check back here for results of their investigation. We are monitoring the posts that report this problem.
