Outlook 2003/XP at work -Search Folders-unable to view contents

[Hello_It''''s_Me-CA]

JUST as I started to get the hang of Search Folders, this annoyance crops up.
I select Search Folders. I select a specific search folder. I get a big
gray nothing saying it's unable to do anything. Then, after a couple of days
(trying again daily), all of a sudden I'm in! But THEN...you guessed it, the
next day, same big gray nothing. And TODAY, I was in. Very weird.
Could this be related to the other problem/question about not being able to
make new appts/meetings? See 'Form error when create new appointment'.

Are you using an Exchange mailbox or a pst-file to store your messages in?
If a pst-file, scan it for errors with scanpst.exe;

Does it work correctly in Outlook Safe Mode?
Start->Run; outlook.exe /safe

Does it work when you create a new Search Folder?
