How-To Geek

Hi.

I have a couple of questions about Outlook 07.
Firstly, when I start it and it does the sending and receiving of the email, a dialogue box pops up saying that Microsoft Office Enterprise 07 is configuring files and folders, as if it was installing something, and it stops me using other programs. This only occurs on starting Outlook; when it is up and running, the only thing that happens when I press send/receive is that it sends and receives mail. I'd like to stop this if possible.

Secondly, there seems to be no option to create a rule to stop Outlook 07 from downloading email with certain criteria. I'd like to be able to stop it downloading from the server email to a specific recipient who shares the account. This was perfectly possible in Outlook Express, but seems not to be an option in the supposedly better Outlook. I'd appreciate any help with this the most, as I'm sure it would help enormously.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply and the welcome.

Sorry, it actually says that Windows Is configuring Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, not that Office is configuring files and folders.
There is no gear icon, and it only happens when I start Outlook anew. It stops when the Emails have finished being received and sent.
There is a splash-screen that appears with Outlook, an Avast Antivirus-linked thing which apparently has something to do with Outlook and Exchange.
I don't know what the splashscreen is and I can't find an Avast option to turn off any pop-ups or add-ons.

I'd really appreciate any help, thanks.
