After furious head scratching, Henry H asked:
| Hello again,
|
| As I said in my last post, I thought that I might be on to something
| and I was. Since the problem showed up after running some Windows
| Updates last week (coincidental?, perhaps), I thought that I would
| try something perhaps a little risky. I looked at the updates
| installed, looked at M$ site to see what was happening with the
| updates and decided that this one: MS07-058: Security Update for
| Windows (KB933729) was most likely the culprit since it was fixing a
| problem with RPC, which Outlook/Exchange uses. So, I uninstalled
| this update and my problem was resolved. I don’t really know if
| leaving it uninstalled will cause a great security risk or not, but I
| don’t think that I have much of a choice; unless I want to use the
| web interface all of the time (no thank you).
|
| I don't know if a moderator can sum all of this up into a more usable
| format for the rest of the users, but it might be worth it. I can't
| imagine that I'm the only person to have suffered/be suffering this
| specific problem.
|
| Thanks for your help,
| Henry

||

|| version
|| 12.0.6027.5000, stamp 467eb4e3, faulting module ntdll.dll, version
|| 5.1.2600.2180, stamp 411096b4, debug? 0, fault address 0x00018fea.
||
|| The crashes appear to be happening during a time of disconnection

|| Central America and the Exchange server is in MN)).
||
|| I think that I may be on to something, so I'm going to watch a while
|| and see what happens.

|||||||
|||||||| Last week, after doing some MS updates, my Outlook 2007 started
|||||||| routinely crashing for no apparent reason. I've tried a
|||||||| repair, no effect. I've tried removing Outlook by choosing
|||||||| "not available" in the setup application, rebooting and
|||||||| reinstalling (selecting "run all from my computer"). What I
|||||||| found on the return was that my entire profile was intact,
|||||||| including my exchange and pop settings and the additional pst
|||||||| files that I use. What I would like to do it to COMPLETELY
|||||||| uninstall Outlook and try a clean install to see if that will
|||||||| fix the problem. That is, unless you have any other ideas to
|||||||| fix the random crashing. Thanks, Henry
