I've using Outlook 2003 for a couple years, then all of a sudden two days ago
I get an error message "Cannot Start Microsoft Office Outlook. Unable to open
the Outlook window. The set of folders could not be opened. The Server is
not available. Contact your administator." Outlook starts to open, then I
get a dialog box with that message in it and Outlook shuts down. I'm not
really sure how to go about beginning to fix it. I did put in the Office
2003 CD and tried some kind of "Repair" option, but that did nothing.

Any immediate help would be much appreciated as I'm "locked" out of my email
at home. Thanks, Mike
 
I'm using Outlook to access my comcast.net email account at home, so yes it's
a home/personal mail account. I don't think I have an Exchance Server...I
assume I'm going through one of the comcast servers, and no nothing was
intentially changed in the last couple days since it's been working, and yes
I've rebooted many times. The only thing that did happen was that the screen
started blinking uncontrolleably (assumed it just got locked up in some loop,
haven't even seen that before), so I had to shut down and restart. It was
shortly after that that I realized I had the Outlook problem, so then I
thought I might have gotten a virus or something, but I did a full system
scan with NIS and nothing was found and everything else seems to be working
fine. Does any of this help?
 
Anybody seen this problem that can help?? Thanks,

If you find the answer...please let me know. As of this morning, I was not
able to send/receive messages from Outlook 2003. Now...I can't even open the
program. No error message...just doesn't open.

Thanks.

Finally! I did nothing more than reboot and it opens now. ??? Haven't a
clue what it was all about.
