In a previous issue of WinInfo Daily UPDATE, I noted the steps that Microsoft Outlook 2003 Beta 2 users can take to fix instability problems. Below you'll find the oft-requested fix for Outlook 2003 users who use Microsoft Exchange. Please note that I haven't tested the Exchange tip, as I'm not using that product, so proceed with caution.
