    Hi im using outlook 2007 Beta from Microsoft, I unser stand this is beta so Im not expecting support or anything just wondering if anyone is having issues with it.

    After the first Send/Recieve outlook pops up a dialog saying theres an error and restarts. the about 5 seconds after it restarts again. I have submitted the reposrts to MS numerous times and they say they know what the problem is and that it will be fixed in an upcoming release. If anyone knows a temporary workaround until the fix is out i'd appreciate it.

    If not I guess ill go back to 2003 and reimport the .pst assuming its backwards compatable.

    Only spambayes which other beta testers say works fine.

    What is the error? I don't think the reader would do it.

    it doesn't really give me an error just the standard

    If I have a look in the bug report I can see that the problem is with mspst.dll which is the MAPI core I think.(or possible the main exe)

    No problem. I guess ill wait for the next refresh of the beta and see if that fixes it.

    Thanks for your input.

    Uninstall spambayes and Acrobat Free and try, even tho others say it works ok it may not for you, have similar chat going on over Photoshop CS2 and Vista... works for me but not some others.

    Did it give you an error message, if so what? ( Event Viewer may herald clues )

    Does it error on Send or Recieve? ( guessing recieve )
    How many accounts are you checking at once?
    Not using MS Exchange Server for mail?

    Do you have antivirus with email checking? if so disable that to test... had a similar issue with Avast and a short timeout, so if email was large it lockedup, I disabled this function ( I know this may not be a similar issue.. but worth checking )
