Outlook 2007 cannot start cannot open the outlook window

"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook"
"Cannot open the outlook windoww"
"The set of folders cannot be opened"
"errors have been detected"

This PC runs Vista Ultimate, 32 bit, SP? .

friend of a friend of a friend
Last week, the issue was "fixed" by running scanpst.exe

BUT the problem comes back every few days.

Maneuvers considered:
uninstall Office 2007,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928218/en-us

including ripping it out
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/ways-to-uninstall-microsoft-office-2007

I ran the Office / Outlook Diag tool
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/micr...repair-applications-in-microsoft-office-2007/

I'll have to run it again because I have forgotten the results.

Do you know if Office 2007 runs better in a W7 install compared to Vista?

Thanks for your help.

Both should work correctly with Outlook 2007.
The source of the corruption is probably coming from an add-in not properly
closing Outlook.
Which ones do you have installed?

If scanpst.exe keeps finding issues, you might want to start off with a
fresh pst-file instead.

I will try this, too.

"Windows Vista and Windows 7

That doesn't apply, given the error message you listed in your original
message.

" "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook"
"Cannot open the outlook windoww" "
It is true, that I mis spelled "windoww", but I think that which appears is
consistent with "When trying to start Outlook 2007 I get the following error;
“Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.â€"

I ws speaking of this one: "The set of folders cannot be opened. Errors have
been detected". That cannot resolved with the /resetnavpane command switch.
