Default Outlook 2007 crashes

Hi,

On several occasions Outlook 2007 has crashed on me without any message
being displayed.

When I try to open it again nothing happens.

When I restart the computer and open Outlook I get a message asking whether
I would like to start Outlook in Safe Mode. When I do it opens successfully.

Can anyone please help?

When Outllook crashes it may not have truly closed, check Task
ManagerRunning Processes for any instance of outlook.exe if found terminate
it/them
It maybe that you have an add-in that is causing a problem, what add-ins are
installed?

I'm afraid I've no idea what add-ins I might have installed; is there any way
that I can find out?

Thank you. The trouble now is that Outlook won't even open in Safe Mode. Do
you have any ideas on what I can do please?

Did you check in Task ManagerRunning Processes for Outlook.exe?

Have you then tried, from StartRun cmd

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Outlook.exe " /safe

(Where C\Program Files........is the path for Office)

Have you tried a repair install from Add/Remove programs?

I actually removed Office 2007 then installed Office 2003 and then used the
2007 updater again but it is still happening.

I did look at the Task Manager abd there was nothing running. I will try
your other lead but why does it need to be opened in Safe Mode all the time?

Uninstalling rarely cure anything, niether is it neccessary to install the
qualifying version, prior to installing the update version, you just need
the earlier version cd available to point to when the upgrade complains
