  Thanks. I'll give it a shot. AFAIK, there has been nothing added/removed in 
the last few days. She had a couple different toolbars (Google and Yahoo) 
installed, but that *shouldn't* affect Outlook, should it?

  search for and delete the extend.dat file from her Application 
Data/Microsoft/Outlook under her profile folder in Documents and Settings.

  Then restart Outlook, it will recreate the extend.dat from information found 
in the registry.

   

  Anything uninstalled on her system in the last day or so ?

  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.

   

  Thanks!
