I am running Outlook 6 sp1 and eve

[NeilAngus]

I am running Outlook 6 sp1 and every time I click on a URL outlook freezes up and the only way to get out is ctrl-alt-delete. Conequently, I cannot open any links. Can some one help me out here? I have been told that I need to completely reinstall 98. Is this so? Please reply in simple terms as I am no genius!Thanks
