I already posted this once and got zero response as did another poster
with the exact same issue.

On a PC running Win2K Pro and Office XP, I set Outlook to use Word as
the editor. Whenever Outlook is first started, it opens Word and
displays a full screen window (with no blank document). I can close
the window and everything appreas to work normally.

My laptop has the same configuration but doesn't have this problem. I
can't find anything different that would explain it. Any ideas?
 
Sometimes we only know the answer because the same thing happened to us or
because someone else had the problem and figured out what caused it.

This is one of those times.

Did you confirm the shortcuts you use to open Outlook are identical? Did you
rename the normal.dot and see that helps? If so, you have a in word macro
causing the behavior.

As to your problem, I don't suppose you're running ATI's Hydravision monitor
management software, are you?

If so, try shutting down desk95.exe and viewport.exe, then start Outlook and
see if the problem persists.

Uninstalled Hydravision and Outlook works like a charm. Many thanks.
Any idea why Hydravision has this effect?
 
Apparently it's a bug in the older versions of Hydravision. Try downloading
the latest Hydravision drivers and see if that resolves the issue.
