MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / May 2005Problems with date drop down boxes,.. Nvidia conflict?
I can no longer get into the drop down boxes in Calendar. As soon as I move the mouse they vanish/close. I have tried Detect & Repair. I have tried reinstalling over the top. The only thing that seems to affect it is I am running an GeforceNvidia fx5200 graphics card with dualscreen enabled, and when I changed some of these options it started for a while. However, I have had Outlook working fine on this system for nearly a year with no conflicts. I ahve tried upgrading tothe latest driver.. and going back to the original one, but neither make any difference Can some clever person please help becasue I don't want ot have to rebuild this system to get this working! Many thanks rfc Please specify the version of Outlook and the dropdown you are trying to access.  Signature--?

The only add-ins are ones that have worked perfectly ok before withthese drop-down boxes. I have Exchange Extensions& Windoes CE, plus Outlook back-up..... all of which are old and previously worked. I know it isn't to do with the pst fiules becuse I don't have any problems with the same file on another computer. Have you come across this before? Shouldn't either the Dectect & Repair, or the Re-install ahve fixed it? I really am at my wits end. rfc > Do you have any custom forms or add-ins installed?

I have:- * Gone back to the original driverthat came with the card * Got the latest one from Nvidia (which appears to be properly certified) * Done the reinstall in safe mode to avoid problems with Norton Anti-virus I have also established that I have the same problem in Safe mode, which if Iam correct, doesn't use the Nvidia driver. I am interpretting this as meaning it is an Outlook problem. What next??? rfc >I would try reinstalling your video drivers as a last resort. > [quoted text clipped - 86 lines] > ||||||| > ||||||| rfc Milly... what do I do next?? > Milly, > I have done this numerous times.

This would appear to have been since downloading the latest patches approx 1 week ago. I am using Outlook 2002, SP3, and have an NVIDIA motherboard, however I don't feel that the motherboard is the problem. Can I remove the latest patches, and see if that works? > Milly... what do I do next?? > [quoted text clipped - 87 lines] > >> ||||||| > >> ||||||| rfc BTW - as a workaround, I can type the dates in manually, but it IS a pain!
