Does not appear to have solved the problem. I renamed her "extend.dat"
to "extend.tad" (rather than delete it, in case it was needed or I had
the wrong extend.dat) and it still just comes up with the Outlook 2000
splash screen and hangs. L

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!
