Outlook has a problem
Hi Guys --

Until about 5 days ago, my version of Outlook 2003 worked great and has for probably 5 years.

But suddenly, it started prompting for the password and wouldn't send/receive without it.

So I googled the problem, followed the entire Microsoft fix for it, did all the changing of accounts, tinkering with the registry, etc. I ran AdAware. I ran Spybot, and I have the Zone Alarm Security Suite, so I ran that. Everything has been relatively fine.

So then Outlook prompted me for the install disk, and has reset everything. I've lost all the old messages and settings.

And the problem has NOT been solved. No amount of going in and doing the same has fixed the constant "prompt for password" problem.

The only thing different that I can figure out is that my daughter downloaded Limewire and Napster -- which I immediately uninstalled completely (followed all the "get it completely out" techie advice).

And yet the Outlook problem continues. Any advice? I'm at my wits end.

Thanks as always -- y'all are geniuses!
