Outlook 2007 Problem

Markee

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with Outlook 2007.

I have recently changed my two partition harddrive (C:\ and \) to one partition (C:\) in Windows Vista.

All User folders are now on C:\.

All seems to be working fine apart from Outlook 2007 which has the following problems:

1. Email message does not display - ie if the email is opened or viewing is turned on, a blank window is displayed where the message content should be.
2. Outlook 2007 will not shut down - it will only shut down through task manager.

A Google and Microsoft Knowledge Base search did not turn anything up, so was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Just a shot in the dark here. I was having problems last week with an installation of Outlook 2007 at work. It turned out that Outlook had opened a hidden window that stopped it from shutting down or writing new mail.

I made a shortcut to it on the desktop and went into the properties and told it to start in a minimised window. This allowed me to close the hidden dialogue box.

Weird problem. Have you tried the inbuilt repair feature of outlook? You can get to it via Add/Remove programs (Programs & Features in Vista)

Thanks for your help, guys.

Got back home from work last night to nail this problem, fired up Outlook and all is now fine??!!!

Suppose this will remain a mystery!

Just another weird Microsoft thing then. The amount of times I go to fix a fault in the office and it vanishes by the time I get there.
