Outlook 2000 wouldn't start

[Marc]

All of a sudden one day, my Outlook 2000 wouldn't start
up. It keeps error-ing out and closing. It asks if I
want to report it. I click yes and there is no working
solution available. All my other Office 2000 apps work
ok. Tried the scan for upgrades. Performed all the
upgrades. No luck. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling
Office. Still no luck. Tried the MS knowledge Base.
Typed in "Outlook wont start." No solution available. I
am now at a dead end. Please HELP me!

1) try running scanpst.exe on your Personal Folder

2) try renaming outcmd.dat to .old and restart Outlook. All the Toolbars
will reset then. This is quite a common problem with Outlook . The default
location for this file is:
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

3) try recreating the profile in Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show Profiles

4) try running Outlook with the /safe switch from your Start-> Run window.
When this works run Help-> Detect and Repair

5) try disabling individual add-ons in Tools-> Options-> tab Other-> button
Advanced E-mail Options...
