Outlook 2003 crash on startup in WinXP
 

My outlook has suddenly started crashing due on startup. It was working
fine till a couple of days back. I haven't installed anything related
to outlook except the normal update from Microsoft.
I am using Outlook 2003 on XP.

I tried the various solutions I could google in for but of no help.

Here is the list of things(found in some post) I have already tried
without any luck

- Reinstall Outlook
- Create a New Profile
- Tried running outlook in Safe Mode (the safe mode is also crashing
the same way as normal startup)
- Remove outcmd.dat
- Ran pstscan.exe on all my pst files.

The Outlook doesnt come up for more than 20 secs & goes off without any
message.
I tried to find for any logs of the error but couldnt find any. Nothing
was found in the Event Logs as well.

Have you updated/upgraded your antivirus at all? Are you virus scanning
incoming/outgoing email at all?

I have managed to get hold of the issue. The issue seems to be an
application "mobile Phone Tools" that I installed to manage & connect
to my mobile phone. I uninstalled the application & the Outlook is up.

Thanks for the heads up Kathleen
