Hangs on "Starting microsoft office 2003 as your e-mail editor"

[Roy]

When I try to reply or forward a message Outlook locks up
and the message "Starting microsoft office Word 2003 as
your e-mail editor..." appears.
I have to end task but when I do Outlook shuts down. I
have all the updates for Office Pro. 2003.
