Missing Office button in Outlook 2007?

It was never there. The main window in Outlook 2007 uses the old Outlook 2003 theme. Only Outlook items such as appts & mail messages uses the new Office 2007 button.

Design flaw or meant to be? that is the question

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook

Description: User get errormessage "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window"



Solution(s):

1. Try start with Outlook.exe /safe . If that works it could be addin related. Try disable all addins and re-enable them one by one to find the faulty one.



2. Try create a new mailprofile.



3. Check if the other Office apps work OK (to pinpoint if whole Office is damaged or not). If they are not then do a Repair from Office installation setup.



4. Try start Outlook with switches /cleanprofile and /resetnavpane
