Visual C++ Runtime Error stopping outlook 2002

B

Bill Nelles

I have a very strange problem that I need to ask for help
with ..... I had MSN explorer and Outlook working
together quite well for a while, with Outlook Connector
working well to take my MSN and Hotmail emails into
Outlook.

Then MSN Explorer and that email client started to get
flaky, so I uninstalled them. That left Outlook 2002
(with all current service packs) operating fine until
yesterday when I started to get a lot of messages telling
me that the Outlook Personal Folders had not been shut
down properly (they had) and time was spent checking the
folders before the programme opened.

Then all of a sudden after doing this check, it then came
up with a big error message saying

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

(address of Outlook.exe program file)

This application has requested the runtime library to
terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the
application support team for more information

I have since tried everything short of re-formatting my
hard drive and re-installing everything. I have tried a
repair installation of Office from the disk; then a full
deletion and re-installation from disk but nothing will
get Outlook to run - it justs give the termination
message and as soon as I click OK Outlook exits.

What can I do - what is happening? Can anyone HELP <g>?

best regards

Bill
