Outlook 2000 won't open

[Fred]

Outlook won't open. I am using Windows ME and I only get
the Outlook 2000 first window when I click on it. Any
ideas would be appreciated. I did uninstall and re-
installed and no change. thanks.

Does Outlook start in safe mode? (select start | run | type: outlook.exe
/safe | ok button)

if the answer is yes, then try renaming/deleting the file named outcmd.dat.
This file tracks menu/toolbar customizations and does get corrupted over a
period of time.

Often, after my PC has been on for a long time (days), my
Outlook 2000 won't open either. I don't usually get to
the first window, even. Then I shut down or restart my
PC, at which time a flurry of Outlook 2000 windows appear
(if I've tried to open it several times). I've never
figured this out, but wanted to let you know that yours
isn't the only one to have this problem.
