    Outlook 2003 Attachments

    When you uninstalled the software did you deleted the Program file folder? I performed reinstalled that didn't work before because I didn't delete the Program Files folder. Also you can try a mailbox clean up.

    IE hyperlinks blank

    I forgot. IEfix & winsockfix didn't work. Hijack this showed nothing unusual. I don't think its IE. I believe its spyware or a trojan... any ideas.

    XP Pc's can't ping each other

    The easiest way to have the two pc's see each other if you just want to share some data is to install nwlink and netbeui. They will see each other quickly, and then make sure you have admin pwds on both and you can map to both.

    outlook set up on my home laptop

    Most new laptops/desktops come with a trial 60 day version of Office 2k3. Keep in mind if you setup this office it will probably only work for 60 days. Do you have a VPN or a secure connection to work? Do you use Active Directory at work? Do you know your Mail Server name?

    I had this a while back when I was doing a install. I believe I had to reset the bios to the default. I belive its a hardware issue so disconnect any unneeded hardware and if possible use a different CDrom drive. (really it works)
