Project reconfigures when outlook receives an email

[Shane]

The IT department reinstalled windows and all other programs, including
outlook 2003 and project 2007 SP1, to my computer recently.

Now, every time outlook receives an email from outside the company,
microsoft project wants to run a configuration which needs a computer
restart. (Exact message is "Please wait while windows configures microsoft
project") Since I received my computer back from IT, I have let Project do
its thing 4 times including the restart. Then when I receive a new email
from outside the company, it wants to do it again.

I finally started canceling the Project configure and going about my
business. Though it has become very annoying to deal with it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I strongly urge you to get your IT department to fix the flaw.

I would, but unfortunately, I have more computer experience and knowledge
when it comes to computers and can fix the problem faster.

So far, I think I got the problem fixed late yesterday. I applied SP2 to
Project and all the applicable updates for office and widows to my system.
(Why IT did not do this, I don't know) After I did the updates, the problem
went away. Why it was doing what it was doing, I don't know; but at least
it's fixed.

Great. I wrongly assumed only IT had the power to fix, since it was
clear they had the power to break!
