I have a continued error in Outlook 2007; it happens any time I try to make a
new task, new appointment, or new e-mail:

Could not complete the operation. one or more parameter values are invalid.

I have found numerous answers to things that weren't exactly my problem,
just the same error, and I have tried all of them to no avail.

1) I tried making a new profile, several times.
2) I tried making new .pst files.

Nobody seems to know how to solve this problem...please help me!

Tried running scanpst.exe against your pst-file already?
Does it work in Outlook Safe Mode?
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /safe

I did run scanpst.exe too, no effect.

It does work in Safe Mode; should I just use Safe Mode for the rest of my
Outlook Career? Or is there a better solution. Please advise. Thank you.

No, you should further troubleshoot.
The fact that it works in Outlook Safe Mode means that it is very likely
that your issue is being caused by an addin. Disable them all and enable
them 1 by 1 to find the culprit.

Thanks for your continued help.

Unfortunately, this didn't work, at least not yet. I ran into a problem
disabling some of them. It said "The connected state of Office Add-Ins
registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed." When I tried to disable
the following items:

McAfee Outlook Add-In
Microsoft Office Groove Proxy for Outlook Add-in
Microsoft Outlook Mobile Service
Microsoft VBA for Outlook Addin
OneNote Notes about Outlook Items
Outlook Change Notifier
Windows Search Email Indexer

The ones that I've disabled are as follows (none of them made a difference):

Calendar Gadget for Windows SideShow
iTunes Outlook Addin
Microsoft Access Outlook Add-in for Data Collection and Publishing
Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Colleague Import Add-in

Still no effect, even after restarting Outlook. I haven't tried restarting
my machine yet, but I'll try that now. I'll only repost if it helps. Thanks
again...

Sean

I'd suspect the McAfee add-in and the Windows Search add-in first, then the
Outlook Change Notifier (I don't recognize that one).

OK, how can I disable/enable add-ins that are registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?

Also, a detail I forgot. These problems started after I was experimenting
with the Outlook Journal. No problems before, and right after I closed down
the Journal dialogues, the problems started happening. Maybe that helps?

Read my article in the link I provided? It also tells you how to tackle that
or at least contains a link to the solution.

Sorry I missed that line the first time around.

I don't have a right click option to "Run as administrator." Per those
instructions. Is there another way?

By the way, I am on an Adminstrator Account on Vista. So I don't think
that's the problem. At least the User Accounts and Privilieges SAYS that I'm
an administrator, and I made myself one however many months ago.
