Cannot open Outlook 2007 in Vista

[Karen Glass]

Hi there,
I cannot open outlook it says.
"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook
window."
Any suggestions please?

 

[Ben M. Schorr, MVP]

Do other Microsoft Office applications open normally? What's changed since
the last time you were able to open it?

Is that the full message?

Try using the /resetnavpane switch.

If /resetnavpane and /safe both fail, try office diagnostics from any office
application then a new profile if it still fails.

Are you sure your pst files was all right? if not, you can try a tool
called Advanced Outlook Repair. You can download a free demo version
at http://www.datanumen.com/aor/aor.exe . I think it is a useful
repair tool for you. It is easy to recover your PST file by using its
wizard. It is a powerful tool to recover messages, folders and other
objects from corrupt or damaged Microsoft Outlook PST files.

My experience has been that the switch works to get you into Outlook.
Outlook worked normally after starting with the switch byt on the next
restart of Outlook the message came back and outlook would not open.

I actually needed to erase the .xml file to get the problem to stop. When I
erased the .xml file Outlook took a little longer to startup but since then
Outlook starts cleanly.
