I have been unable to access Outlook 2000 today and get a message saying that it is not available. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2000 and still get the same message. For some reason, Outlook is not installing. Anyone got any ideas how to resolve this?
 
1) try running scanpst.exe on your Personal Folder

2) try renaming outcmd.dat to .old and restart Outlook. All the Toolbars
will reset then. This is quite a common problem with Outlook . The default
location for this file is:
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

3) try recreating the profile in Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show Profiles

4) try running Outlook with the /safe switch from your Start-> Run window.
When this works run Help-> Detect and Repair

5) try disabling individual add-ons in Tools-> Options-> tab Other-> button
Advanced E-mail Options...

Very interesting! Thanks. That did the job.

I lead all kind of things, which did not workout, I 'repared' , reinstalled
etc. with no result. Dit go to this newsgroup to ask a question and -by
now almost a day later, working hard on the problem- I got this.... yes,
indeed, I first scanned with my eyes first more then half a more then five
thousend entries.... but got this one...
(Gold for me, THANKS again, Roady!)

Kind regards,
