Outlook doesn't startup anymore after install Norton Antivirus 201
I installed Norton Antivirus two weeks ago and since then I'm not able
anymore to startup Outlook. A friend of mine discoverd that in the Application Data no more pst.file was available. I have Windows XP and Office 2007 Entreprise edition. When I startup my Outlook I get an error message stating that Outlook hadn't been closed down properly and if I want to startup in Save Mode. Now, this doesn't work and the screen asks me to send info about this case to Microsoft. Anyone out there, who can help me? |

Outlook doesn't startup anymore after install Norton Antivirus 201
Have you tried using Office diagnostics using any of the office
applications? Sometimes this solves most of the problems of short cuts and what not. Also, please tell us exactly whether you get any error messages when you try to launch Outlook 2007. hth "Tasha" wrote in message ...

I have Windows XP and Office 2007 Entreprise edition. If the installation of Norton's program stopped Outlook from working, then it IS good advice (despite what "ybS2okj" - someone so "expert" he will not admit to who he is - says) to uninstall that program to determine if it is, in fact, the problem. It is WELL documented that many AV programs and Norton's in particular, conflict with Outlook. When you install an AV program, it's not necessary to install the mail scanning feature. It does not make you safer and it it is very likely to cause mail transmission problems. Do you get any error messages when you try to start Outlook? If so, post theie EXACT text. You should check to see if your Outlook PST is there. Open Windows Explorer and enter this into the Address field: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Click Go. That will open the folder where Outlook creates PSTs by default. See if you see an "Outlook Data File". If you have known file types set hidden, you won't see the ".pst" file type, but you should still see the PST. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Outlook doesn't startup anymore after install Norton Antivirus
Dear All,
Dear Brian, As soon as I click the outlook button, outlook starts, then stops saying that it needs to be run in safe mode (YES/NO option). In either case, the software stops working, no real error code. So I contacted a friend to see what happened. He figured out that the pst file was gone. He was able though to create a mail with the editor function of microsoft, he checked if he could change maps and yes the computer gave my original mailbox configuration. It showed even that I have new mail. Now I checked again and in my application data/.../outlook map are just the following documents: outcmd.dat, outlook.nk2, outlook.xml, outlook.srs, outlPrnt So no .pst file. Where can this be gone (considering the fact that it should exist somewhere). Anyone? Tasha "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: "Tasha" wrote in message ...

Outlook doesn't startup anymore after install Norton Antivirus
Dear Brian,
I tried a new thing for me... I copied the link you gave me and suddenly I found my pst file back amongst my other maps in my mailbox (hotmail, archive,...) So I know my info is still somewhere out there... I copied the info to a new folder (so I have a backup of my mails). So what do you suggest I d do now?

So I contacted a friend to see what happened. He figured out that the pst file was gone. Outlook displays an explicit message that it can't open its folders if the PST is missing. It doesn't just hang. Your friend doesn't know what he's doing. He was able though to create a mail with the editor function of microsoft, he checked if he could change maps and yes the computer gave my original mailbox configuration. It showed even that I have new mail. Now I checked again and in my application data/.../outlook map are just the following documents: outcmd.dat, outlook.nk2, outlook.xml, outlook.srs, outlPrnt So no .pst file. That's because the folder containing the files you name is NOT the folder that normally contains PSTs. He looked in the wrong location. He looked in %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook, which is NOT the folder I told you to open. Open the folder I already told you using the method I told you. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

I already said what I think you should do: uninstall your AV program and reinstall it without the mail scanning feature. You should reboot your computer after uninstalling the AV program and before reinstalling it. For added checking, scan your PST with the Inbox Repair Tool, scanpst.exe, found in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office12 and allow it to repair any errors. Then try to open Outlook. If it still fails, then create a new mail profile and add your existing PST to it. See this: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/newprofile.htm -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
