Anyone know what the recycle bin needs to function properly? I tried setting the security to everyone but even that doesn't work. Here's the problem, I use 2 profiles. 1 is for everyone to use (which is a user account) & there is an admin account.

Installing Works Suite 2003 on Win98

dano97058
After reinstalling system from msbackup. qic (from which I excluded Works 2003 because I have the discs), I can get everything to reinstall except Word 2003. I know there is some little tweak I need to execute, but I'll be hornswaggled if I can track it down.

Outlook

freddy
Got a problem with Outlook. I'm in the UK, got an XP machine with Office XP. For some reason Outlook shows all the email dates etc in American format (mm/dd/yyyy) not the UK format (dd/mm/yyyy). This is causing a problem, and is a big annoyance.
