You are pretty behind the times with the OS. :-)

Mac OS X Update 10.3.8 (Combo)
<http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1038combo.html>

You will then need to download the 10.3.9

<http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1039.html>

Have you tried in a new User? Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User
in Accounts. Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User
Switching. Test there.


you won't be able to apply the 10.3.8 updater over an installed copy of 10.3.9

you would have to reinstall 10.3 (use an archive and install), then apply the 10.3.8 combo updater and then 10.3.9 delta updater.

to be honest, it's a lot of hassle and isn't all that likely to fix the problem you are seeing.

You don't say what version of office you are running - I'm guessing vX or 2004? - some early versions of these had problems with links in complex HTML messages (especially 2004). This is likely the problemn you are seeing and it is a bug in Entourage rather than a damaged installation.
