I am having real problems with msft outlook, it won't open but when I try, it
uses 98-99% of CPU. Now - with Office 2007 I can open it in safe mode and one
fix I've read blames problem on corrupt 'inbox.dbx' and says to delete it,
but it is a hidden file. Post doesn't explain how to find it and 'unhide' it
then delete, so can anyone help? My brain has given up long ago....lol

Inbox.dbx doesn't have anything to do with this as it is for Outlook Express
and not Outlook.

Locate outcmd.dat and rename it to .old
