outlook 2007 on xpsp2 exchange 2003sp2 suddenly wont open. It starts then
dissapears- no error message. OWA works. What should I look for...

Ciara

Try using these command line switches

/safe
Starts Outlook without Microsoft Exchange Client Extensions (ECE), the
Reading Pane, or toolbar customizations. Component Object Model (COM)
add-ins are turned off.

/safe:1
Starts Outlook with the Reading Pane off.

/safe:3
Starts Outlook with Microsoft Exchange Client Extensions (ECE) turned
off, but listed in the Add-In Manager. Component Object Model (COM) add-ins
are turned off.

/safe:4
Starts Outlook without loading outcmd.dat (customized toolbars).

Hope this helps

Thanks!
It wouldnt start with any of the safe switches;<

Outlook and OWA are two different things - OWA should always work unless the
exchange server is down.

did you try a new profile in Outlook?
Detect and repair (if outlook was installed as part of a suite, you can run
detect and repair from and of the applications in the suite)

You may want to try running scanost.exe against your .ost file. If that
doesn't work, then try a new mail profile.
