Hi,

this is my first entry here.

I use Outlook 2007 and I got a crash today, when I got over 6000
messages. It sounds pretty crazy but I forgot this email account
Anyway, there was this crash and after that, I restarted my pc and
outlook, and it was impossible to open the reading pane. Neither on the
bottom nor on the right. It is just off. But I can click the right and
the bottom box, but nothing happens.

Does anyone know that problem and a solution?

Thanks in advance,
Sven

It would help to define what you mean by "crash". Include he complete text
of any error messages. Include as well, the exact text of any event log
entries fro the time of the "crash".

There was no error message. I started downloading a bunch of mails and then Outlook closed automatically!
After a restart of my entire PC (Windows), Outlook didn't show the reading pane. I tried to reinstall Outlook, but there was no changing. The reading pane is always off. I can't activate it!

I had that problem about 6 months ago yet. I found a solution that solved the problem, but I cannot remember! So I know, that it is a common problem of Outlook 2007!

I'd say, then, that you'd better duplicate your earlier research.

common problem of Outlook 2007!

If it were a common problem, there'd be more that just your report of it in
these newsgroups, and I don't recall seeing any but yours.

Brian,

Your negative remarks are unnecessary. I too am having the exact same
problem. If you bothered to research you would see that others are having
this problem as well. There is clearly a bug here.

I am in the same boat. I had the problem a while ago... found a fix
and can't remember it either. Did any one sort this out?

Brian.. how did you get that MVP with that attitude/lack of knowledge?

did you happen to post it here using the same email address or display name?
If so, you can search for it easily.

It's not uncommon for the reading pane to be turned off when outlook
crashes - turn it back on (View menu). Detect and Repair (Office Diagnostics
in 2007) should be used if it does it often.

I was losing the Reading pane daily. I would have to quit Outlook, kill the
remaining Outlook process, restart, and then HOPE the Reading Pane would
re-appear. Sometimes it would, other times I'd have to repeat.

Since I disabled the Adobe Add-in in Outlook (via Trust Center), I have not
had a problem! It's been two weeks now, so clearly this fixed my issue.

I love snag-it and use it daily and I TOO had to disable it and adobe with my
outlook 2007 client.

I have a problem with about 15 of my branch teller PCs that have multiple
users all with outlook (no-local ost caching). Half the time they startup
outlook 2007, it crashes and sends an error report and reopens. about half
the time it does that it opens sort of correctly (though with the same issue
as when it "actually opens" upon program start the first time).

This problem is that yes, the reading pane is NOT there. as well. you cant
close the outlook program and that seems to prevent a proper shutdown at the
end of the day. To get the program to close, you have to ctrl-alt-delete and
end the process manually.

I'm pretty sure its adobe acrobat standard 8.1 that is causing the issue,
but the problem is that i cant get to the trust center on these PCs. every
time i go to open it through the tools menu in Outlook 2007, the program
FREEZES, and i HAVE TO GO to task manager and manually close it.

IS THERE A WAY to manually disable the add-ins via registry or a command or
something? Thanks. Would REALLY APPRECIATE an answer. And yes, we've
installed this oem version of office 2007 NUMEROUS times on these new dell
Optiplex PCs.
