looking in the floppy drive

[John T]

I got Outlook 2003 to work fine. However, whenever I try to do something in it, it first looks at the floppy drive (A) before it proceeds to do what it is supposed to do. No error messages or anything, but very annoying and time consuming. Not sure why it is first looking at the floppy drive and not sure how to stop it from doing this.

Thanks

did you reload a file from the floppy, perhaps a .pst file? If yes, this
article applies to earlier versions of Outlook - it may still work for this
newest version:

Thanks for the reply...I havent reloaded and files from the floppy or save
any there. When it accesses the floppy drive the Windows Installer screen
comes up...after not finding anything in the floppy it proceeds to do as it
is supposed from the hard drive.

Sounds like something got messed up in the installation somewhere or there
is still some installation files left from the initial install. Have tried
the possible solutions from the web site listed but it continues the same.
Any ideas?

Thanks
