I just purchased a new hard drive and did a fresh install of Windows XP.
After installing Office 2003 and downloading all the updates, I found that I
could not send emails from Outlook. I could receive fine, but when I tried
to send I got a timeout error. I tried sending an email from another
computer in the house using the same software and the same account and it
worked fine.
After trying several fixes with no success, I did a system restore to a
point before I had installed any updates and tried to send an email again,
and this time it worked. I then installed updates one at a time and found
that after installing Office 2003 Service Pack 3, the same problem came back.
Another system restore fixed it again. Then I tried downloading Service
Pack 2 and the same problem happened again.
The strange thing is that before I reinstalled XP, Outlook was working fine
with Service Pack 3 installed, now it seems to screw it up somehow. I can
get it working by not installing the service pack, but I want to get it
eventually. Anyone have any ideas?
