Working fine until a couple of weeks ago, a 'personal' email pst file
(created with Outlook 2003 and transferred onto a new computer) with password
protection started to crash my Outlook on start up.
Basically when I turned on Outlook, it asked my for the password for the
protected file (which I usually cancel as I have no need to access it).
Usually this is fine and I can simply work from my normal outlook pst folder.
For some reason the password process froze outlook requiring a restart of the
program.
If you have a similar problem, best action is to go to control panel-> user
accounts-> Mail-> Data Files (then highlight the suspect)-> Click
'settings'-> change password-> ...then just delete your password. I did this
and Outlook now actually opens.
Someday you may just be lucky, and be able to reinstate it without crashing
your computer.
