Outlook won't start from the task bar

[DannyM]

Have outlook 2007 with business contact installed about 2 months. Outlook
2007 won't start from the task bar or the desktop icon unless I restart the
computer and then start outlook first before anything else.
Otherwise, if the computer has been on and i have been working and try to
start outlook - nothing happens. The hourglass (working) icon comes on for a
few seconds, goes out, but the program does not start.
When its running it seems to be fine.
