Hello
My name is Becky Sabo.  I have been using microsoft 2003 on my lapto
and I use outlook for my email but some reason lately when I read the

freezes.  I have un install it and also re install it and the issue is
still there.  I was wondering if I need to upgrade if so what version
would I need to get to still use outlook for my email'  I need this
taken care of this asap any help would be great.
Thanks again.
Becky Sabo
