Outlook 2007 Beta Catastrophic Failure
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 Tibelian |

Uninstall the Outlook connector and get a newer version.

One word = BETA. Not everything works as expected.
If/when you find a feature working/not working as expected in the Office 2007 Beta release, please use the "send a smile" link to notify the Office Beta team of your concern. Link is at the end of this message. Include screenshots and comments to explain your concerns. Also, if you wish, include your contact details if you don't mind being contacted by Microsoft for follow-up. All "Smileys" are read and tracked by the beta team to improve Office 2007 for usability and stability. You can also send positive smileys as well as concerns. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Did you create a new mail profile? That's recommended after installing the new version of the Outlook Connector from http://g.msn.com/0CR1033/3.

How to work for Microsoft and not get paid:

All of whom freely chose to do so. Are you contending people shouldn't have that choice?

Are you saying they'll never be able to get it right? I'm happy with O2K and see no need to buy OXP or any of the other versions. I'm happy with the idea that I won't have to shell out a grand for the next "version" for my three computers every two years. It's not just MS that uses people to test their newfangled software. All of them do it. Heaven forbid they should make software that's so good that it stands the test of time rather than have to be continually tested. Alias |
