Problem with Outlook 2003 on Vista

[ChuckN]

I have been having problems opening Outlook 2003 on my Vista workstation.
It may be related to update KB 941649.

Initially KB 941649 did not want to install from Microsoft update. I found
several blogs that recommended different procedures for installing it. The
latest I tried was starting a command line as administrator with WUSA.exe .
As in the past, Event Viewer says it was installed successfully. Typically
as in the past, I expect tomorrow I will get a message that KB 941649 failed
to be installed correctly the night before. Microsoft needs to get this
figured out.


Any way, since installing KB 941649, I have been getting Outlook Failed to
Start errors every time I reboot. I restart Outlook, and half of the icons
don't work. I restart Outlook again, and everything works fine.

It appears to me that there are some memory management issues going on here.
Anyone have similar problems? I have seen quite a few similar instances of
941649 failing to install and Outlook failing to Start on different sites,
but no solutions yet, nor have I seen anyone tie the two together.

Any help would be appreciated.
