Outlook Issues -- HELP!!

L

Lenni

I recently performed an update in Windows and ever since
have problems now with Outlook (ver, whatever comes with
XP). Often times when I open Outlook the program will
display the following message

"The data file "Personal Folders" was not closed properly.
The file is being checked for problems."

There should be no reason for this, since I always use
File, Exit, or else the X at top to close. In addition,
it often freezes up for no reason; and sometimes it
doesn't automatically send emails through to me, until I
hit the Send/Receive button, although it is set to do so
automatically every 5 minutes.

Please help! I really depend on email for my business!
