Default Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook

I have 3 seperate profiles in MS Outlook with a shortcut for each profile.
Until just a few hours ago I could open al 3 profiles, at different times,
with no problem. However, I can no longer open my gmail profile. Instead I
recieve the following message "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot
open the Outlook window."

Does anyone know how I can fix this? And also, what caused the problem?

Google or a search of this newsgroup still works you know - this is a very
frequently asked and answered question and you would have found the answer
instantly rather than having to wait 4 hours....

Do Start-Run and type in (without the quotes) "Outlook.exe /resetnavepane"

Note the space between exe and /

advice, but then I got the following error: "command line argument not
valid. Verify the switch you are using" I made sure the space was between
exe and /

I tried all possible combinations and none of them worked.

Then you still typed it incorrectly somehow.
