Entourage fails to load

S

Steve Basile

Entourage fails to fully start up. Unexpectedly quits.

I tossed the Entourage prefs and fixed disk permissions. Is there another
way to compel it to work or is this a case of reloading the application?

Thanks in advance.

Repairing permissions won't help, as MS don't install receipts for Entourage
or any other part of Office.

Your identity is probably damaged somehow. Try doing a repair of the
database (hold Option on startup). If that doesn't work, rename the identity
directory (~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Main
Identity) and now Entourage should restart. You'll have to migrate all the
stuff from your broken identity into your new one :-(

Cheers,

Thanks Chris.

I did the identity rebuild earlier without success. As for 'migrating' the
data how is that done?
