Outlook 2003 not opening; minimizing to tray

[Abe]

Hello,

My Outlook 2003 appears in the Task Bar at the bottom once opened, and
cannot be restored. The outlook icon appears in the System tray too.
Nothing happens when I double-click on it. I have tried ending the
OUTLOOK.EXE process (there is only one when opened) to no avail.

However, I am able to run Outlook 2003 just fine in Safe Mode for now.

One interesting thing I noted when opening Word 2003, I received a
message from PDFMaker.dot asking if the macro should be enabled or
disabled. I enabled it and now Word 2003 opens fine. Outlook issue
still occurs.

Any suggestions?

Much appreciated.

If you can open Outlook in safe mode, you have an Add In that is interfering
with Outlook. Disable them all, then open Outlook normally. Add them back
one at a time and test inbetween.

Disabling all add-ons in Outlook did not work. Also, using the
registry it did not work either. I ran a Detect and Repair and got it
up and running. Thanks.
