Outlook 2007 Hangs in Vista

[Renee B.]

I have been having problems with Outlook 2007 hanging when I start the
program. I'm using Vista and have the Business Contact manager installed.
I've done regular updates and am still having the problem.

Thus far, I've tried going to Document & Settings to remove some of the
bloat but when I do so I'm told that access is denied. And yes, I have
administrative rights on this computer. Any suggestions?

Depends what bloat you are trying to remove, in Vista use Disk Cleanup
Have you also run Office Diagnostics?

Documents and Settings on Vista isn't really there. It's actually a link to
C:\Users. Try accessing it by its real path.

No. I wasn't aware that Office Diagnostics existed. How do I run it?

Thanks Brian. I'll give that a try.

Either pop the office cd in and choose the repair option, or from within any
Office Component, click the Orb, select Component Options>Resources

I wouldn't recommend deleting files from your User folder, unless you know
precisely what you are doing.
Use Disk Cleanup
