Outlook 97 - Won't Send or Receive Messages.

H E L P !!
My operating system is Windows 98SE w/all updates and I use Outlook 97 Ver. 8.04.5619.
When I open Outlook it may/may not search for new mail as it did in the past. If I use F5 or Tools-Send/Receive Mail, my Symantic Crash Guard comes up with a window. It says, "Norton Crash Guard Assistant Intercepted a crash in OleMainThreadWndName". Also, "This effects both the Program (Outlook) and the System". The recommendation is to,"Terminate the program to avoid a system wide crash".
The Details button in the window says, "Technical Crash Details: MAPISP32 caused Fault #c0000005 in (Unknown)at address at 017f:0a0ddc48.
Also, a Google search on the 'OleMainThreadWndName' takes me to Windows 2000 references. There is an incomplete installation of Windows 2000 on my PC that I do not use.
Question 1 - How do I eliminate the lockup and make Outlook useable?
Question 2 - If I am unable to fix Outlook, can I use Outlook Express ver 6? I will need to transfer a very large Contacts file to Express if I do this.
Thanks, Chet Smith
