Run 2 .psts under 1 profile

[dawnvk]

I want to know if there's an easy way to run 2 versions of outlook under 1
profile. My husband and I both have a .pst and currently have 2 profiles set
up, however, we have an issue with the computer freezing upon switching
profiles about every 10 times we do it which is driving me nuts. I want to
nuke his profile and just use one, but we have the 2 different .pst files.
How can we easily do this? I'm running XP Pro and Outlook 2002. Thanks for
any suggestions or if anyone knows how to stop the crashing when switching
profiles, that'd be useful too. MS blames NAV, Norton says it's MS. Go figure!

Disable email scanning by Norton - it does little good.

Create two windows accounts and use fast user switching to avoid opening and
closing outlook all the time.

Disable Norton Email Integration and see if it helps.
You can run the one profile with both accounts but your data would be mixed
up. Rules can be used to move email based on the account. You can use
sperate Calendar, Tasks etc folders but reminders won't operate on the
secondaries.
Using separate Outlook profiles is the way to go.

I have 2 user accounts but it's the fast switching that's screwing me up. It
crashes about every 10th time. This is how I'd love to have it set up, but
crashing is very annoying.

Do you think that its NAV's email scanning that's doing it? Can I really
turn it off and not worry about getting a virus via email? That's a bit scary
as well.

Thanks.

Oh and one more thing... Since I suspected NAV, I've been disabling it prior
to trying to use the fast switch, but that hasn't seemed to help.

I don't know if email scanning is the cause - but it's not necessary unless
you don't can't control yourself I'd disable email scanning completely
regardless.
