For the past couple of days now when i run either IE or Entourage ive been getting a Type 2 error...I deleted the internet preferences and then re-created the internet preference file...But its been happening way too much, and im getting pissed...anyone know what could be causing this? I have a TiBook 500/384mb/10gig...Thanks

Have you allocated memory enough to the apps?

my best guess:

you've installed Office2001 (with IE5 & Entourage) onto an OS 9x that came with its own previous version of OutlookExpress & InternetExplorer? yes / no?

if so: you've got all sorts of M$ crap all over the place.

the cleanest way to install Office2001 is to obliterate all previous traces of M$ beforehand (while saving your favourites and bookmarks of course).

and yoyo52's right: with 384Mb of real ram you have more than enough to boost each Office app to 20, maybe 25Mb or more without conflict.

Yes i did install office when there was already IE and Outlook on my machine...So i should wipe out all traces of microsoft, and then re-install office? ok cool...one quick question though, when u see remove everything of microsoft, what exactly is everything? I know the folders containing the files, and the extensions, but what else? Thanks

whenever Micro$oft installs anything, either from disk or download, it always installs a plethora of meaningless crap throughout your hard drive: Extensions, plug-ins, preferences, the list goes on. It�s a plague.

Office 2001 is the heavyweight of Micro$oft�s installations. It dominates. If what you�ve been using lately (IntExplorer & OutlookExpress) doesn�t comply or get out of the way, then there�s a **** fight.

Micro$oft says if you want the best from Office2001 you use the IntExplorer & Entourage (the new OutlookExpress) that comes on the disk.

(to trace previous stuff on your hard drive, open sherlock, type in �microsoft� and it�ll show you where everything is).

rule number one is back-up of course: if you�re going to to this, export your favourites and bookmarks, save docs, all your settings, all your numbers, ect, ect ... beforehand.

and whatever you do, wait for confirmation before proceeding: i�ve been responsible enough for one night.

posthumanus out.
