Hi,This is the exact problem that I am having and reboot did not solve the problem. I really have no idea what to do and would appreciate any help that you could provide (step-by-step I would be extremely grateful for!). THanks!

In the future, you would be better off starting your own new thread instead of replying to a very old one like this. You will get a better viewing 'audience'.In your case, is, or was, MS Office or Outlook ever installed?Bruce HagenMS-MVP Oct. 1, 2004 ~ Sept. 30, 2010Imperial Beach, CA

Thanks ... I wasn't really sure what I was doing or what this even was ... just looking for some help. :)Microsoft Office is installed on my computer, but not recently. I don't think Outlook is there. I've never used it and don't see it in the programs list.Thank you for any help you can offer!
