Can "check for updates" get it wrong? (Outlook crashing four times a day)

If you leave OL running, what is the polling interval set to? ie check for
new mail
It should'nt be less than 10 mins

If its running for 4/5 hrs before crashing out it sounds more like a
resource problem, as to whether OL or Win...?

Sounds like a good idea: I had a problem with my Hosting Service which had
set their servers to reject any email check which came in more than four
times every five minutes (I think they had been having denial of service
attacks) until THEY reset their servers. Althhough that problem has now
gone, how do you change polling time in Outlook?

But it sometimes crashes every five minutes or so before settling down to
crashing only once or twice a day. And sometimes just after boot when
nothing else is running

But your idea of getting into safe mode was interesting in that often taking
windowss into safe mode will solve problems next time you boot normally

This time, having checked that no updates were needed, I downloaded the
FULL version of SP3 and then installed it, and it installed. Not only that,
it then would scan and told me that all kinds of other patches were
available which I also downloaded and installed. (NOW we'll see if the
system is any more stable)
