Typing "r" in address line freezes entourage...

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Starting last week, whenever I started to address an email beginning
with the letter "r", the program freezes and I have to restart
entourage or force quit. I thought it was something in the address book
so I tried to delete all contacts so I could import them back in but it
does the same thing and freezes when I try to delete contacts past the
r's. Even when I try a find in the address book list starting with "r",
it locks up.

Aso, when I type in the r...an error message pops up that says "The
Action could not be completed. Mail error". Then I close out of that
window and cannot perform anything else in entourage unless I quit and
restart it. This just started since before Christmas on my office
mac...my laptop is fine. I tried reinstalling all the software but it
didn't work. Any ideas out there? I probably have some type of virus
but my antivirus isn't picking it up so far.

Thanks.
