Whoa! I think I see your problem.

Then try a new mail profile - it usually fixes most problems - just be sure
to configure it to use your existing .pst file.

After furious head scratching, Corn asked:

| Just searched my disk.

| 70+files beginning with mapi, none in office folder.
|
| Should you be more specific for my ignorance? :=)

|||
|||| Windows XP Pro, IBM Laptop
|||| Uninstalled Novell Groupwise email program
|||| Installed MS Outlook 2003, program appears to work as advertised
|||| when I start it and I am successfully using email, calendar,
|||| tasks, etc. However, anytime the email is invoked from clicking on
|||| someone's address link or from a visit to a website, IE goes nuts.
|||| It opens 50-60 different windows of IE, apparently until it runs
|||| out of memory. I then get an error message in a box that says the
|||| default mail client is not properly installed. Only way out is
|||| hard boot. Outlook is definitely set as default mail system in IE
|||| Tools. I have also tried to run outlook.exe /checkclient with no
|||| result (found this in technet)
|||| How can I fix this problem?
