Same Outlook 2003 problems here... They said to do a AvastClear uninstall in safe mode and reinstall it.  I did and still have the same problems... PLUS... the new version wipes out my System Restore points which is VERY scary...

I submitted a ticket.  That won't go anywhere.  It's definitely in the program starting with 10.2.2223, they admitted that.  I had to install an older version.  That works.  They gave me 10.2.2218.  I've got XP SP3, Outlook 2002.  No right click menu.  It's odd that it works if I highlight more then one item though.  Anyways, I wouldn't hold your breathe on this.  You've got an old machine and it seems to be kind of isolated.  As these anti-virus programs get larger and larger, I notice a pattern.  In the past, I've dropped Symantec and AVG for small things like this that just seem to keep adding up.  But then again, there are still 250 million computers using Windows XP.  And a lot of these people are going to be buying Windows 10 in the next couple of years.  I wouldn't want to alienate them now.

Re: They gave me 10.2.2218

How did they give it you?? HELP !!!!

I had exactly the same problem on 3 computes (2 XP and 1 WIn7). Fortunately I had images I could drop on both Xp machines but nothing to help the Win7 system.

I called and asked for a link to 10.2.2218, but they didn't offer me anything.

Thanks, anyway Asyn, but ALL links on Filepony lead to 10.3.xxxx versions, even though they say they are something else (10.2, etc)

Big Thanx, cpenkola...got it !!

There is a work-around I have found but it's is PAIN... you have to do this each time you open Outlook 2003... the issue is the Forms Cache...
Click: Tools, Options, Other, Advanced Options, Custom Forms, Manage Forms, Clear Cache... then OK each open menu box...

Outlook 2003 then works correctly... until Outlook is closed and re-opened.

I have been running outlook in safe mode, works fine, just an extra step to open the program. I tried the clear cache step when I felt like I was the only person with this problem. For me it did not help, only running in safe mode.

Most of the people on this thread reverted back to the prior version I provided above, 2015.10.2.2218.  Just a coincidence, but I accidentally updated to the new version this past Saturday and it still did not work.  If whatever you did happened after that,  we need someone else to guinea pig and let us know.  One time this week is enough for me!  I'm on stand by....
