When I came to work this morning and opened Outlook 2003 it hung at the
splash screen. I first did a repair install in the Control Panel, Add/Remove
Programs which didn't work and it hung locked the computer. I then
uninstalled it, rebooted the machine and reinstalled it and got the same
thing and the computer locked up. What is causing this? I have Dell
Optiplex GX260 with Symantec Antivirus 8.1, Windows XP SP2 firewall is turned
off. I can't think of anything off hand.
 
Will it start okay in Safe mode to do this go to Start || Run || type
Outlook /safe
 
Actually I get prompted to start in safe mode everytime and I select Yes and
I can see my email.
 
Weird thing just happened and I got an automatic update for a Outlook 2003
security update I installed it and rebooted the computer. I then got
prompted to go into Safe Mode then I closed out of Outlook reopened and now
its working. Very strange. Thanks for your help.
