What Is Outlook?
How to Fix Common Outlook Problems
Start Outlook In Safe-Mode
Did you know that you can start Outlook with no add-ins? It’s called “SafeMode”. You can start Outlook in SafeMode which will turn them all off (which is probably best to start with). If Outlook behaves in SafeMode, then you can begin uninstalling add-ins one at a time (temporarily at least). To uninstall, you should be able to go to Control Panel…Add/Remove Programs, and select Remove (or turn them off temporarily via the registry at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\AddIns\{name of add-in}\ – then set LoadBehavior to 0 to turn it off, and 3 to turn it on). Finally, if you are able to narrow it down to a particular add-in, you might be able to reinstall the offending add-in in a different order (assuming you have more than one add-in you can install – some add-ins are installed by Microsoft when Outlook is installed).
Run the Inbox Repair Tool
The Inbox Repair tool (scanpst.exe) works on both the Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders File (.pst) and the Outlook Offline Storage File (.ost) data files. Scanpst.exe has installed when you install Microsoft Outlook and has been located at: drive:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\LocaleID folder – where LocaleID is the locale identifier (LCID) for the installation of Microsoft Office. The LCID for English – United States is 1033. Restart Outlook and try to duplicate the problem.
