reinstall?

Exactly what error are you seeing?

We need to know what version of Entourage you are using including any
updates.

Note: Make a duplicate in the Finder first as additional backup. A rebuild
does make a duplicate, but sometimes in the process the original and backup
get merged resulting in total disaster. It's rare but it happens.
