I received a few forwarded emails from my dad lately that have had video attachments. When I click on the email and error pops up and then the email makes copies of itself in the inbox until I just turn the PC off. It just started doing this recently and only with video attachments. If I go into safe mode I can go into Outlook 2007 and delete the messages. But when I get them in normal XP mode, it still does the same thing.



Note: Other people who have got the forward don't have this problem. Some are using Outlook 2007. Also, when I access my email via the internet (not outlook), I can view the messages properly.

And.... How can I backup all my settings and email from Outlook 2007? If I lost Outlook would I lose any emails?

Windows XP Pro SP3
Outlook 2007 (part of office 2007)

To backup all of your email and settings from Outlook, you can use the export function under the File Menu. This will export all of your information to a PST file on your pc. As long as you do a backup, you will not lose any emails if you remove Outlook.
