Outlook 2007 won't open

[Guest]

I just recently installed Office 2007 professional (Windows XP home) and
everything works fine, except Outlook. The program froze when I first tried
to open it. It offered to open in safe mode the next time I tried to open it
and froze again trying to open. I have used detect and repair from both
trying to open Outlook and from add/remove programs. I have uninstalled and
reinstalled Office. I have run Microsoft diagnostics twice and it found
nothing. At this point, it tries to open and then I get an error message that
Outlook didn't proprly close my folders and can't open the window. Any
suggestions on what to try now?

Thanks!

Was this an upgrade? if so try a new Profile from the mail applet in the
control panel

No, unfortunately my old suite didn't qualify for an upgrade. I did uninstall
all the old stuff through add/remove programs before installing 2007.

Your post did give me an idea and I'm in, thanks!

I had the same problem. I backed up my accounts and rules, deleted my
outlook data file in control panel, went into outlook and re-entered my email
address, etc. Things worked fine after that. I guess my Outlook data file
was corrupted. Thank you for the help.

Regards, Phil

I take it back. It did not work. It acted like it was going to but now
again...still won't open. Any help?
