SOLUTION AS BAD AS THE PROBLEM
Microsoft's patch of its Outlook email program to stop Love Bug-style 
viruses  appears to be causing big problems. Many files commonly
attached
 to email, such as Powerpoint presentations, are being crippled.  Many 
Outlook 2000 users have to update their program - and the download is
40mb
 in size. And if the patch installation fails,  Microsoft recommends 
reinstalling the entire suite of Office programs. Great. Microsoft's own 
list of the problems is at
