Duplicate Contact Entries & Disappearing Events in Entourage 2008

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm running Office (Entourage) 2008 with 'Sync' checked on a macbook pro with 2GB RAM.

1. Randomly, but more often then not, Entourage is creating approximately 6-10 duplicates of each contact. Having over 1300 its not a time saving solution to manually delete them. I'm surprised there's no de-duping option. Occassionally, the problem seems to mysteriously correct itself upon a new session however, this is rare. What's the solution here?

2. Sometimes, upon opening Entourage, all my events/appointments in the calendar view are GONE. While a great way to free up my life for more recreation, my clients aren't equally amused when I miss their appointments. What's the solution here?

I suspect that "sync" has something to do with this but these, especially the later, are MAJOR issues I hope you will address very soon.

Thank you.
