can not open outlook

[Derek]

How do I run dectect? Does it run from Outlook? Since
outlook shuts down right after it's opened, I can't
access any outlook functions.

thanks,

Wiping out and reinstalling does nothing 99% of the
time. Try running
Detect and Repair first.

One way: Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs. Select Microsoft Office (or
Microsoft Outlook, if it was installed separately). Click Change. Select
"Reinstall or Repair".

Derek,
I think it also works from other components of the office, i.e., Word.
Under Help, Detect and Repair - I think it fixes all office components, but
others might correct me on this. Note that it might ask for the orig. CD,
so have it ready. Diana

Yup. In Outlook, too.
