Whatever options I select on AutoCorrect in Outlook 2007 they are reverted to
default options ar Outlook restart.

I disable "Capitalize first lettet of sentences" and if works fine. But when
I exit and reestart Outlook the option is enabled again.

Any ideas?

Do you have all the latest updates (including SP2) installed?

I have the exact same issue and have been scouring the web looking for a solution. My problem is exactly the same, but it occurs with MS Word.

This is what I've tried so far:

I've tried blowing away Normal.dot and starting from scratch, no luck.

I've tried restarting the PC. No dice.

I've tried starting Word in Safe mode, but the same issue occurs.

I ran diagnostics. No apparent troubles detected.

I've reset the appropriate registry key.

I've done a repair with the install disk.

I've uninstalled Word and reinstalled it.

Still, when I uncheck (or check) any check box in Word Options, after quiting Word I lose the changes. This doesn't happen in Excel or Outlook.

Have you had any luck?

I was able to solve the issue by disabling Add-ins. This is what finally worked:

First, I went to the MS Word icon IN THE MICROSOFT OFFICE SUBMENU in the Start/Programs menu. I right clicked the icon, choose properties, selected the Compatibility tab and checked the check box "Run this program as administrator."

Next I started Word, answered "Yes" when prompted.

In Word, went to Options, Add-ins, at hit the button at the bottom of the screen to manage the Add-ins.

I unchecked the Add-ins, confirmed changes, then restarted Word.

Now I could make changes the Word options and they saved.

Next I reapplied the Add-ins and unchecked the "Run this program as administrator" in the Word icon properties under the Compatibility tab.

It's a pain to go through all those steps to change options, but at least I know it's doable now.

Curiously, I have this same configuration on other computers (same Add-ins) and can save Word options with no problems.
