No it keeps retrying and I gave up after an hour of clicking. The progress
bar was probably about 30% the way across..

Thanks for your reply,
I have run SFC and it doesn't seem to do anything other than constantly
ask
for the CD even though its in the drive, the progress bar creaps along but
I
have to keep clicking retry. Have changed indentities, turned off all
firewall/antivirus software. Completely stumped with this. I cannot do a
complete reinstall before you suggest this as I can not afford the down
time.
Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to Start | Run and type

SFC /scannow

and that will run system file checker.

Also disable any 3rd party antivirus or antispam software and see if that
makes any difference.

Go to File | Identities in OE and set up a new Identity and see if that
works.

Otherwise, since you can't get either Outlook or OE to access the
accounts,
then it would appear to be something more system wide that is preventing
such.

You might also then check for viruses and spyware.

Please someone help.
System has been working fine until I installed MS Visual Studio 6 for
my
TAFE assignment. OE straight away stop working. I have uninstalled and
reinstalled using Add/remove windows components. Manually uninstalled
and
reinstalled deleting OE files from DLLcache and the registry entries
included
Indentities. I have managed to get OE going again but will not accept
any
POP3 mail accounts. Error always says that password incorrect even
though
I
can log on thru webmail. I have removed and reinstalled Office for
Outlook
2000 and the same applies, simply will not accept my password. Hotmail
accounts work occassionally but take a very long time to synchronise.
OE Files shown as follows;

system is XP prof xp2, IE7,mS office 2003.
Please someone help. no KBs have helped yet. My patience & sanity is
gone.
