Lost Office notifications. All links!

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop

Not sure what initiated it but my office notifications (about 75) all dissappeared and apparently my links as well! Many, many hours of work gone...disgusting? s their any way to recover them? Links seem to dissappear regularly, New reminders are not showing in Office Notifications! I Also whenever I try to open preferences in Entourage it quits.I am not impressed at all with MS products especially Entourage. I think after this experience I will discontinue using Entourage and am not likely to upgrade or buy other MS products! Really frustrating.

It sounds like you have a bad install and I suspect even your base OS files
need refreshing.

Download and run the Apple combo. Doing so overwrites potentially
problem-causing files. Combo updaters will install on the same version as
they¹re applying‹no need to roll back or do a clean install.

Leopard:

Mac OS X 10.5.6 Combo Update
(For both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs )

Use "Remove Office" then install Office 2004 from your DVD and update.
11.1.5 --> 11.5.1 --> 11.5.2 --> 11.5.3

I'm sorry you are having problems, but it's not the normal behavior for
Entourage.

When doing this procedure will I lose my data? I also have my HD almost full...will this create problems? Perhaps I should clear space before attempting this? Is their a way to back up my data before doing this?
