When I click on the MS Outlook link/icon, MS Outlook
appears in a small window in the middle of the screen. It
then remains in the small window and does not subsequently
open up into a large window.

I have waited up to ten minutes for anything to happen,
but it doesn't. I eventually have to kill it through the
Task Menu.

The problem started just after I had installed a new
Kyocers printer alhtough I cannot see what relivence this
night have.

Anybody got any ideas?

Cheers

Peter
 
Close Outlook. Find and rename outcmd.dat to .old. (If using Windows 2000
or XP, you will need to enable searching hidden and system folders.)

Once you have done so, reopen Outlook and it should open fine. You will
need to rebuild any custom toolbars or customizations as the file outcmd.dat
controls how the toolbars display. When it becomes corrupted, it will cause
Outlook to hang because it cannot create the toolbars that you expect.
