Brian:
I also freeze up and want to crash by the end of the day. :-)

Have you looked at this KB?

"The Information Store service and Outlook 2003 crash intermittently when
Outlook 2003 clients connect to a mailbox on an Exchange 5.5 server"
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=834466

I have seen this cause problems with Outlook 2003 clients running
against 5.5.
