I am runing office 2003 and windows xp pro, all latest service packs downloaded.

though i am having a problem connecting to out outlook it use to work before i reformated and rebuilt.

pop3 settings are correct
smtp settings are correct
and username and password are correct.

when i try and use it i get the error message 'Reciving reported error (0x80040154) unknow error 0x80040154'

I thought it might be a problem with the pop3 server but as a tempory solution I am running thurderbird and emails download correct.

I tried switching off virus and firewall software but still to no avail ergo i am lost.

Any ideas?

it might be your installation of Microsoft Outlook Express has been corrupted...try re-installing it again

Try doing a "Detect and Repair" on Outlook. If that doesn't work, try
reinstalling Outlook - your problem is an installation problem.

Apparently.

That's what the MS Support pages say about Outlook 2002 (it uses some of the install-files for Outlook Express to work properly), but not about Outlook 2003......could be the case, though, try reinstalling Outlook Express (yes, I know you're not using it, but it may work along the same principles as Outlook 2002 and use some of the OE install-files).

Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components

Tick Outlook Express and click on OK
