Word crashes when trying to send and email

[microsoft]

Word XP crashes when trying to send and email using outlook. This started yesterday after a windows up date. This did not happen with the original SP2 upgrade. I did all the office updates and Windows updates. I uninstalled Word. Rebooted and reinstalled and rebooted. Same problem.

Error is Word incounterd and internal error and must close.

Thanks for your help.
