Outlook menu bar gone

[Janice Wiegley]

my menu bar is gone. it has not been resized or moved. I
have nowhere that I can right click to select the
different toolbars to view. I have repaired, unistalled
and reinstalled with no results. When I press alt+v to
try and bring up the view menu all I get is a click but no
menu. any ideas? I am at my wits end.

Try renaming your outcmd.dat file to outcmd.old while Outlook is closed.
Outlook will rebuild the default toolbars the next time you open it. If
your changes to the toolbars "stick" after doing this, then you know it was
the outcmd.dat file causing the problem. Make sure to make a backup of the
new outcmd.dat file so you can restore it if you ever run into the same
problem again.

Note: If you're using Windows 2000 or XP, you'll need to search in hidden
and system folders to find the outcmd.dat file.
