If you reboot the PC does outlook then work?
Inserting the Office cd and running detect repair doesn't help?
If you search to include hidden for *.pst what are the sizes of the
resulting files?

I am running office xp pro on vista home premium and now get the error
"outlook has stopped working" When I click 'check online for a solution'
it
wants me to upgrade to a newer version. It then closes outlook and will
not
start. I don't want to upgrade. Any suggestions on how to get outlook to
run without upgrading?
