Crashes randomly at launch

[LiveTwoHike]

I know 2000 is barely compatible w/ Vista, but after countless hours
reading posts I have managed to get it "mostly" working.

Remaining issue:

When I first launch it typically crashes or comes up displaying Email
pane, but w/ an empty Folder List pane (odd)?.
After acknowledging the Vista 'crash' msg I try again several times
and eventually it sticks and all is well.

Why are the crashes at launch random? I thought computers were
deterministic (it should crash every time or not at all).

Thanks

Do yourself a favour upgrade to at least 2003 or use a different mail client

OK.
Will my current pst file work w/ the latter versions of Outlook?

Yes, it will, but at your first opportunity you should change its format to
Unicode, if you decide to use a later version.

Installing Outlook 2000 in Corporate/Workhgroup mode may ameliorate some of
your problems.
