Safe mode disables all integration with Outlook (antivirus, anti-spam, etc.). Disable all your Add Ins and COMs, then add them back one at a time and test each one to find the culprit. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Aldrich To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 12:30 PM Subject: Outlook strangeness
I have ONE user who's having a problem with her Outlook 2000 today. For some strange reason, the ONLY way I can get it to start and open up is to start it in safe mode, i.e. "outlook.exe /safe". That's not an ideal situation, obviously. I've tried pretty much all the other command-line switches that seem to apply, including "/nopreview" and "/cleanprofile" but the only one that does anything at all is the "/safe" switch. Any clues as to what could be the problem? I can't seem to find anything that might be causing this. The machine is running XP Pro SP3 and it was working fine yesterday, but today, for some reason, it just won't work normally, and I've even had the user restart her computer. I'm just about out of options here. I created a shortcut on her desktop to outlook.exe in safe mode, so she's working, but it's a less than ideal situation.
