Not yet. It's kind of difficult to do that in Outlook 2000. Outlook 2003 and
later had actual "profiles" you could delete, but OL2K pretty much (at least
for POP3 accounts) only has the "default" profile. L I could try to delete
the email account and set it back up from scratch, but that's not really the
same as deleting the profile.

Did you delete the outlook profile?

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!
