Outlook 2007 Won't Open
I recently (within a month) upgraded to Office Small Business 2007. Outlook
has been working fine but this week simply stopped loading. When I click the icon, it seems to load, the Outlook box appears, and a tab opens in the dock, but the program will not maximize. It is just dead. I did a repair and uninstalled my security programs. I also scanned for viruses and spy ware. Nothing fixed the problem. I am in the process of decommissioning this computer with a new computer that I just bought, so getting the program to work is only essential if I need to run the program to transfer my address book and mail files to the new computer. So, for help, I would like either (a) help in getting Outlook to open; or (b) instructions for moving the address book and mail files to the new computer, if I can do that without opening Outlook. Also, (c), how to find my product code for free MS support (I am eligible, but can't get the code if the program won't open). The new computer is running Vista Ultimate (through parallels). The old computer is running Windows XP 5.1 service pack 2. |

Outlook 2007 Won't Open
My problem is similar. Outlook 2007 won't start normally. I can close it with Task Manager and restart in Safe Mode. But it won't close properly from safe mode so I have to go through this procedure every time. "Roady [MVP]" wrote: Does it load in Safe Mode?
