Outlook & WinFax Pro error

Myke
A client on the network has been continuously experiencing an error with Outlook. This usually happens when she opens an e-mail (sometimes when closing). Outlook freezes and then eventually just illegally closes, which yields an error message.

Windows Defender any good?

packman
As of today (25th Jan 2007), am I correct in thinking that Microsoft's Defender is now completely out of beta testing and is now a fully-fledged add-on? How reliable is it, working under WinXP? IE6 SP1 surely already includes anti-popup, so why is it also included in Defender?

Hi Gang, Are there any programs that can rip my CDs directly into wav files? I have this video series that's just talk and I'd rather listen to it while I ride my bike using my MP3 player. Thanks, Christian Blackburn.

XP installed, but wouldn't format over W2K :(

Gunlok
I bought OEM XP pro to install over W2K. Somehow I've ended up with both OS on the drives. Maybe when it gave me an option to install over the existing OS (option L), I missed it. I'm not sure. W2K doesn' respond, and I can't get to any options that will allow me to reformat the drive and start over.
