I downloaded an update for Outlook 2007 today and now cannot open the
program. I get error message which says" Cannot start Microsoft Office
Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

I need some help please. This is my business email and I am out of luck.
Thanks

Try this:
Do Start-Run and type in (without the quotes) "Outlook.exe /resetnavpane".
Note the space between exe and /

Pretty snide reply you gave previously. Just wanted you all to know that I
found the solution on Google, but it didn't work. Tried again "according to
Gordon," but it still doesn't work. "Not valid. Verify switch" is message I'm
receiving.

I am really in a bind. Can anyone help me?

Should have mentioned. I'm running Win7 with MS Ofc Pro 2007. Does that make
a difference? Don't have Start/Run obviously.

Did you ever resolve this issue? Cannot change the switch; could you? I'm
running Win7 and Ofc Pro 2007.

Umm what was "snide" about posting the CORRECT solution?

So, either add the Run command to the Start menu (see
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...the-Start-menu) or press
WinKey+R.
