You failed to state how you configured Outlook's accounts. I'd wager you did
so incorrectly.

And do you HAVE an exchange server email account?

That tells us nothing. Does your laptop connect to an Exchange server? Does
your desktop? You configured it to by adding an Exchange account.

I reconfigured the connection (no exchange server and didn't know what that
was) Runs well - thanks

At some point someone must have tried to add an Exchange account to this
profile. It's easy to do by mistake when first configuring Outlook.
