I have been using Outlook 2003 for a few years. Now when I start Outlook 2003
the splash window comes up, then the application window comes up. After about
the normal time for initialization, the application window closes and the
application appears to have abended. On subsequent attempt to start Outlook
2003 get the same result except get "file not closed properly" message.
Have tried running scanpst.exe, uninstalling and reinstalling all of MS
Office 2003, but no difference.
Have also tried copying the outlook.pst data file to another computer with
Outlook 2003, and no problem.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
 
This was installed as part of a suite?
Things to try:
1. Run Detect and Repair from Word.
2. Try a new profile to see if it works.
3. Remain the files (everything except the pst files) in C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook - see if
it works.

Which one you try first really doesn't matter but I would probably do #1
first then either 2 or 3.
 
I would look in the Windows event logs to see if the error of the
crash/close is being logged.
