Thanks Milly for your suggestion.

However it is not working.

I uninstalled Outlook Connector and re-installed it again from the Office
Live Email website. Same problem. Outlook 2007 starts -- Flash Screen --
Outlook appears for a moment -- Poof.. disappears.

Any ideas on whats going on?

| Hi all,
|
| I have bee having problems with my Outlook 2007 Beta failing to start
| open - running WinXP Home with 1.25Gigs Ram. All other Office 2007
| components work OK.
|
| The flash screen comes on - the outline of Outlook itself comes on
| and then everything just disappears. Outlook continues to be seen in
| the system tray on the bottom right - but as soon as I hover over it
| - it disappears. If I click Outlook again - the option to launch Safe
| Mode comes up. When I say yes - the same thing happens - flash screen
| -- blue outline for Outlook -- and Poof! The third time I click -
| an option for "detect and repair" mode comes up.
|
| This began after I installed Outlook Connector for Office Live Email.
| But everything just crashed.
|
| Removal and re-installation after reboot did NOT help. After
| re-installation a popup with Failed to launch mscon.dll comes up.
| After installing Outlook Connector - the popup goes away, but Outlook
| 2007 continues to crash every time.
|
| Any ideas?
|
| Thanks
