I run Windows 7 and Outlook 2007 just quit working. The error message is:
Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

I have had a similar problem because I keep my pst file on a network share so
I can use it with my roaming profile, and sometimes the network share goes
awol....

To reset the outlook window run 'outlook.exe /resetnavpane' at the command
prompt.

Open outlook with the /resetnavpane switch:

Close Outlook. At the Start search field on Vista or Windows7 Start menu or
in the Start menu, Run command (Windows key + R), type

outlook.exe /resetnavpane

Then press Enter (or OK button) to restart Outlook.

Note: Make sure there is a space between the words.

This didn't work for me. Is there a new problem?
