Entourage has never given a problem, but, away for a few days, mac shutdown, started it, Entourage received 89 messages then crashed. Launched it and after about 10 seconds crashed. and has done so about 100 times in a row. It tries to receive messages, the turning icon at bottom right corner turns as if receiving messages. When it stops turning is when it quits and a crash report form comes up. Thinking it just had too many messages, I managed to delete 60 messages slowly, 1 or 2 at a time during the 10 seconds or so available to me. Hopefully nothing important was deleted, I didn't have time to read the contents. It appears to have an incoming message stuck in its throat perhaps?? Any way to force it to behave? I have a lot of important stuff stored in Entourage, I need to get it working. eMac G4 1GHz 1GB RAM OS 10.3.8 Entourage 10.1.1 Fingers crossed you can help, Tony _________________________________________________________________ Sell your car for $9 on carpoint.com.au http://www.carpoint.com.au/sellyourcar
