SP2 should be sometime this summer (northern Hemisphere, that is!!!). In the meantime, order the MS Security Update CD. It was just announced last week, works for Windows 98 on up, and gets you current to last October. Order it Here kip

In Outlook 2003, Tools>Options>Other>AutoArchive gives you all the settings to turn on/off, set, find, etc, auto-archive folders. kip

This is a sound file of burned out speakers? Since you've done everything else, you could try to delete and re-install your sound card driver. Is it possible that your sound card is fried? Hard to tell from here without hearing the sounds, obviously. kip
