Hi,
I'm experiencing a very strange problem lately. It appeared suddenly on a system that has been running fine for ages (no new installations or recent system configuration changes too).
On my oldest computer, I'm still running WinXP and Office 2003 (sorry). Recently, the computer started to hang or crash with misc BSOD 8E, 0A, 50 etc. AS LONG AS I RUN Outlook! When Outlook is not running, the system is up and working fine for days (as before)! The same happens when running Win XP in Safe Mode! I ran the "Detect & Repair" function a couple of times, no difference. I really don't believe that reinstalling the entire Office 2003 will help much (I suspect Outlook is in conflict with some other SW/Driver but ... which one and why now?)
Of course, I've done all imaginable HW and RAM tests, CHKDSK, SFC /SCANNOW, etc. etc. No problem! The Windows Event Log or diagnostic tools do not provide any clue about what's going on. I'm simply clueless. I've never experienced such a crazy problem before (and I've had my share of Windows issues over the past 20 years also building several machines myself).
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Willy
