When things go wonky, I try restarting my Mac. This will often fix any
problems. If the problems continue, try a rebuild of the database. Full
directions here:
Database (
http://www.entourage.mvps.org/database/rebuild.html)
Here aer some elimination methods if you continue to have problems.
Identity: Create a new identity:
Entourage 2001: File-Switch Identity>Select New
Entourage X: Entourage menu>Switch Identity>Select New
If the problems go away, then your old identity is corrupt. You can try a
rebuild on your old identity.
User Folder: In System Preferences: Users: Create a new user. Log Out/In to
new user. Open Entourage and see if the problems go away. (You will need to
recreate your account info.) If problems disappear then you know it's a
conflict or corruption in your user folder.
Run Repair Permissions: Run Repair Permissions after any software update
from Apple and for other software updates. To use. open Disk Utility in your
~/Applications/Utility folder. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair
Permissions. Don't run from CD as updates have a newer version of Repair
Permissions.
Last resort: Install OS X on a separate partition or hard drive. Install
Office X with updates. Test for problem.
