HELP!! - MS Outlook 2002 Problem

[ToaDz]

Hi there,

I have just setup a new Exchange 2000 server. I have created a user in AD
Users and Computers and setup an Exchange mailbox for that user.

When I log on as the user on to the domain from another PC and open Outlook,
I go through the setup process and enter the Exchange Server settings. All
goes well.

When I log off and log back on and open Outlook, it goes through the process
of setting up Outlook, as if I was installing it. A window comes up saying
"Preparing to Install Microsoft Office XP with Frontpage". I allow this
process to finish and then I am prompted to setup and enter the Exchange
Server settings again. All goes well, until I log off and log back in. The
same thing happens!

Why is this occurring? I have already setup the user correctly during the
Outlook setup. I have entered the correct Exchange server name and it
detects it fine. But every time I log off and log back on, MS Office prompts
through the installation saying "Preparing to Install Microsoft Office XP
with Frontpage".

If anyone could help, it would be appreciated!

Are you logging on with the user account? Is the user a local user, power
user, local admin?
