OL keeps crashing

OL 2002 SP3,Win XP HE SP1

Hi,
Recently, my OL has started just crashing--closing itself (exiting) on
its own. At times, I get the report--OL had to close and restart, do u
want to send a report, etc.; other times, nothing--just the crash.
I have used the repair function, but to no avail.
I have run the usual anti-virus, anti-spyware--all clean.
I am not aware of any changes in my PC that could have caused this--no
new programs installed, etc.
Any ideas what I could do?
Tx, S

Hi,

Try to open Outlook using the following command..
STartRunoutlook /safe
Check if Outlook closes out.

If so, tell me if in the error report we have a field which says 'mod name'

Hi,
Tx 4 ur reply.
The crashes are intermittent, i.e. they really seem to be random
(however, they must occur upon some specific incidence--some process
conflict, perhaps, etc.) so I am not sure running OL in safe mode will
tell me anything as I would have to have it that way and wait ALL day
long for perhaps a crash to occur....

Hi,

If the crashes are intermittent, keep a track of the 'mod name' if it
happens again.

Hi,

I just installed Office XP on a new PC and each time I open Outlook, it
closes on its on after about 3 seconds (its not even listed as an active
program when i do contr-alt-del). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling
the software but I run into the same problem. Interestingly, i can right
click on the outlook icon and and enter a menu that allows for setup of email
accounts, data files, and users..but I can't get the program to launch and
stay active.

Have you tried a Detect/Repair, using the CD?
Only running Apps will apear in Task Mngr

I tried restarting my PC in start mode and the program worked, so I then went
back and weeded out the start-up apps to narrow down who was conflicting with
outlook causing it to crash. I had reinstalled Office XP multiple times,
even upgraded versions but none of those helped.

Did you examine the Event Logs to see what errors appeared there?
