Outlook 2003 Problems

[Jim White]

Hello,
I recently upgraded to Office 2003 from Office XP. Now,
the following has occured within Outlook:

1. Outlook hangs (stops responding) when opening e-mails
(not all, but better than half of them).
2. Outlook hangs (stops responding when closing.
3. Whilee Outlook 2003 found all my contacts, it appears
that the last 6 months worth of my email is gone.
Anything after 06/28/03, isn't there anymore. I have
scanned for .pst(s), and imported the ones I've found,
but none have my recent mail (including any archives.)

I am running Win XP Pro on a P4 1.8 GHz with 1GB RAM, My
Office 2003 is the version I received this month in my
Action Pack, and is registered etc.

Finally, why did this software get released if it has so
many issues with interoperability? (I've been reading the
posts).

SIncerely,
Jim White

Hello,
As a further note, I have already uninstalled the entire
suite once and reloaded it. The system itself had
recently been flattened, so other than Antivirus (shut
off during install), there were no other apps running
during either install.
