Hi several clients are having outlook issues after the latest critical updates were installed. Clients are running XP Pro with Office 2000. The problem is that outlook is not notifying the user if an email has arrived, this mean that it does not even appear in the inbox until the user clicks on/in the inbox, then the email appears as if it has just arrived. Unistalling/reinstalling the patches resolves the problem, but that's just a pain. Has anyone come across something like this before? Regards.

Which patch is causing the problem?

Have u tried going into the options and making it notify you when new emails come in?? If you go to: Tools, Options and under Preferences, click on the Email Options botton and check off Display a notification message when new mail arrives. That should do it, but if it doesn't u should resort to something else. ____________________________________ We all take for granted what's not in front of our faces...
