Office outlook 2007 window will not open why?

I click on Outlook 2007, get the message "Cannot start Microsoft Office
Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window." thats it, i have tries to
re-install, deleated it, scandisked it, and nothing still the same message,
no other error message attached to it.

First I would try disabling and Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, programs.
Also try disabling the firewall temporarily.

Does this work?

The Next thing to try is the Inbox Repair tool. The link below is
the Microsoft HOW TO:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...CH010496951033

If this is not effective, try creating a new profile.

- Click Start, and click Control Panel. Click Mail icon.
(If you use VISTA select the Classic View to see the
MAIL applet)
- Click Show Profiles
- In the "When starting Microsoft Office Outlook, use this
profile:" area, please select "Prompt for a profile to be used"
- Click Add and type the new profile name as you like in the
Profile name box. NOTE: Do NOT use the same name as
your original profile.
- Click Next and click Finish.
- Try to open Outlook. Choose the new profile in the
profile list and click OK.

Please let me know if and which of these is effective (or not).

That information would have been very helpful to know in your original post.

Open Outlook in safe mode to see if the behaviour changes:

Start Run Outlook.exe /safe

If you start Outlook in safe mode, it disables all Add Ins. If Outlook works
as intended in safe mode, it's a good bet one of your Add Ins is the culprit.

Go into Add Ins and disable them all, then start Outlook normally. Add them
back one at a time, testing inbetween, to see which one causes the problem.

See if that works.

WOW! Worked perfectly. THANK YOU!! and thanks for such a quick reply.

What does that suggest that the problem was? Is there something I could have
done to prevent it?

Something that's been occuring recently to lots of people. Off the top of my
head it was an update that caused it but I'd have to go have a look to make
sure. At least the solution is really easy!
