Until recently I've been using Microsoft's Lookout search for Outlook 2003
with good results. It indexes quickly and does a good job searching.

The caveat is "until recently". Something has changed how Lookout
interacts with Outlook. When I open Outlook, it seems to load correctly
until the opening screen displays for 5 seconds or so. Then it simply
disappears. Vanishes. The Outlook icon in the taskbar remains until I
mouse
over it, then disappears, too.

The Task Manager shows that outlook.exe isn't running.

If I run the Detect and Repair program (from another Office 2003
app.remember I can't open Outlook) I can open Outlook once. Then it
reverts
to its bad behavior.

If I uninstall Lookout, all is well; Outlook runs correctly.

I've searched the M/S Knowledge Base for a solution, but my native
language
is English, not Geek -even though I am A+ certified -- and I can't find
any
articles on this bug when I search the KB. I'm guessing there's a
conflict
when Lookout loads, but can't get any farther than that.

I like the simplicity of Lookout and would like to keep using it, but.

Help!

Thanks,

Bruce

You can run detect/repair using Office cd or via Add/Remove dialogue (the
Office entry)
Lookout is/was an OL search plug-in. MS purchased the company/techknowledgy
and integrated into their MS Desktop Search app.
