I recently purchased a new Dell computer, and with it, MS Office Basic Edition. I brought a large amount of data over from my older Dell computer that ran the same applications, but with older software. Most things on the new machine are working well, although I'm having 2 problems with Outlook. 1) periodically when creating an email message, there is a long wait, then I get an error message telling me that MS Word is not available to create my email message (I have this selected as my email editor). It automatically takes me to the Outlook Editor. This happens once or twice a day. Strangely enough, this same error happened on my old computer, which was running an older version of Outlook. 2) the second error message tells me that Outlook is looking for a .pst file that I have already used to import data. Theoretically, it should be finished with this file because the import was successful and the data resides in my outlook.pst file. Any suggestions to fix these two problems would be appreciated. Thanks!
