Unless you include details of the error and your installation, no one can help you. Post the exact and complete text of the error. Post your Outlook and Windows versions. Post your account type and exactly when the crash occurs. State whether or not it ever worked and what changed on your PC just before it stopped working, if it had worked before. Examine the Event log to see if there are events logged that pertain to the crash and post the entries. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Examine the Event log to see if there are events logged that pertain to the crash and post the entries. I don't see any of the answers for these, either. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

-Windows XP, Version 5.1
-The account is pop mail with yahoo! (let me know if you need something more specific than that) -It worked just fine for over a year but just started doing this a couple months ago. I have no recollection of doing anything different or downloading anything that would have distrupted my Outlook -I do not know how to view the event log. I did a Google search for what that means and where I would find it but I am not sure where I would find the log specific to Outlook. Can you let me know where I can find the exact information you are looking for? Lastly I was dissapointed to see the negative tone in your email. I appreciate your help but would also appreciate your understanding that I am not overly computer literate, particularly when it comes to diagnosing errors. I understand that you handle numerous computer errors daily and I realize that I missed putting the other topics in my response but there is no excuse to take that tone with an obviously troubled Windows user. Thank you. "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: "Bradj57" wrote in message ... The message i get is: Microsoft Office Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close.

... -Windows XP, Version 5.1 -The account is pop mail with yahoo! (let me know if you need something more specific than that) Do you pay for a Yahoo Plus account? Free yahoo.com (or yahoo.ca) can't be used with Outook or any POP mail client. Yahoo won't allow it. ISPs like AT&T and British Telecom contract with Yahoo to host their mail for them and subscribers to those services get a Yahoo Plus account as a part of that service. -It worked just fine for over a year but just started doing this a couple months ago. I have no recollection of doing anything different or downloading anything that would have distrupted my Outlook If you have autoupdates from Microsoft or your antivirus program enabled, then you DO download something freqently and install it. Sometimes these updates can affect Outlook. -I do not know how to view the event log. I did a Google search for what that means and where I would find it but I am not sure where I would find the log specific to Outlook. Can you let me know where I can find the exact information you are looking for? Right-click My Computer, choose Manage, Expand Event Viewer under System Tools. Examine the System and Application logs for any references to Outlook. There may be an Office log also. Lastly I was dissapointed to see the negative tone in your email. What negative tone is that? Where was I pejorative or insulting? How can you see "tone" in an electronic message? You can't tell anything about my "tone" unless I insult you. I appreciate your help but would also appreciate your understanding that I am not overly computer literate, particularly when it comes to diagnosing errors. And where did you point that out so we could know how much guidance you need? I tend to asssume people know what they're doing unless they say otherwise. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

I use a Yahoo plus account.
I do have an anti-virus program. To be accurate then, I do not remember knowingly/manually downloading anything that would have altered my Outlook. I could not find any reference to Outlook in the event log (checked the areas you suggested). Would I clearly see "Outlook" or "Office" or should I be looking for something else?

If you allow WIndows and/or yout antivirus program to autoupdate itself, this can produce a change that will change a PC's behavior. I could not find any reference to Outlook in the event log (checked the areas you suggested). Would I clearly see "Outlook" or "Office" or should I be looking for something else? Use Find under the View menu to search the System or Application event log for "outlook" in the Description field. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

I found some event logs in Application and System but none before 2008. The
dates on the logs go up to Jan 2008 then jump to 2017. However, none of the Outlook related things show up past 2007. Does that matter? Would this particular error still be in one of the older logs? Also, I had the Norton anti-virus long before I started having these problems. Does that mean that a new definition downloaded from Norton could have fouled this up?

Does that matter? Would this particular error still be in one of the older logs? Possibly. Clearly you had your PC's clock set incorrectly at some point. Also, I had the Norton anti-virus long before I started having these problems. Does that mean that a new definition downloaded from Norton could have fouled this up? Sure, particularly with Symantec products, well-known for not behaving well when used with Outlook. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
