I got it to work. I don’t know how! I am using X. I did the rebuild and it hasn’t quit since! So far so good!
Sounds good.
That's true, but you didn't have to repair the HD, just the Disk Permissions. (Actually, each time you restart the computer, it does a First Aid check and repair of your Hard Disk, so you really never need to use the CD for this. There are more sophisticated 3rd-party utilities such as Disk Warrior which are available if your disk is ever really whacked.) Your problem was with the Entourage Database, requiring a good rebuild, not with your hard disk.
I had found the Disk Utility on the computer, however, I thought I had to use a utility on a CD to repair the main HD.
I am used to putting in a CD and using First Aid, so that is why I thought it was strange when the one I found on the CD only worked on system 9.
All it would do is repair permissions, which is what you said to do anyway! Not that I understand what it means, but if it stops quitting, that’s fine. Actually WORD quit as much as Entourage, so I don’t know if the problem is common to both programs, since they are all part of Office.
The four .bin ones had error messages on downloading. Then I clicked on the other option ( was it hqx or something?) to the right, the larger file, and that was was fine.
Thank you very much. No offence meant to helpers! I am learning a lot from the other posts.

So far so good.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
