Outlook Crashes

[Gary]

Greetings:
I tried opening Outlook and it goes into the report an error mode. When I
check the details of the error, I get the following information:

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : outlook.exe P2 : 11.0.5510.0 P3 :
3f1380f0
P4 : mscorlib P5 : 2.0.0.0 P6 : 471ebc5b P7 : 17c5 P8 : 1e4
P9 : system.argumentexception

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Gary

I forgot to add that I am running Outlook 2003, WIndows XP, with McAfee
Internet Security. I am able to enter my password for my POP e-mail accounts
and then it shuts down after I send the error report.
THank you.

Start with disabling McAfee's integration with Outlook.
If it still doesn't work, try it in Outlook Safe Mode;
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /safe

Dear Robert:
Thanks for replying so quickly.

Disabling McAfee-Oulook integration disabled - did not solve.

Went to your link I could not find a .pst file to scan. Did a search and
there were several files in the Documents and Settings\...\Outlook - Archive,
My Contacts, MS Outlook Internet settingshotmail.com, Outlook and Outlook1.

Renamed the outcm.dat file - did not solve.

Could not open Outlook in Safe Mode.

Did not try recreating the profile in the Ctrl panel.

Any other ideas?
Thanks.

The other ideas are the ones you skipped.
