Let's try opening Outlook in Safe mode.

Select Start | Run

Enter Outlook.exe /Safe
(note the space between ".exe" and "/Safe)

Select OK

Does Outlook open?

If so, we may be dealing with a bad add-in or view.

Well, we might be dealing with a corrupt PST file then.

Look for SCANPST.EXE. I don't know what operating system you're using, but
this program is probably in C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Windows Messaging

Open ScanPST and browse to your PST file. Let it scan and if it picks up any
errors, let it repair them. Keep running SCANPST until it goes throught the
entire process without finding errors.
