Can't uninstall Office/Hanging issue

D

Dan Calic

Hi,
I'm running Win XP Pro, Office XP Pro, OE, & IE.

Everytime I open Outlook or OE I get an egg timer for
30 seconds.

Once either program opens, it downloads whatever is on the server and I can
send/receive mail normally.

I disabled my Norton AV, yet the hanging still occurs.

I haven't installed any new software recently.

I thought about uninstalling/reinstalling Office, yet when I tried that a
message came up saying-
"This patch package could not be opened. Verify the patch package exists and
you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify this is a
valid Windows Installer patch package."

I guess one question is would the "hanging" issue with OE and Outlook get
resolved by uninstalling/reinstalling Office?

If not any suggestions on resolving the hanging issue would be appreciated.

- Dan
