Cannot start Microsoft Outlook
Cannot open the Outlook window

---

Symptom:

When trying to start Outlook a message box is displayed containing the message:

Cannot start Microsoft Outlook.
Cannot open the Outlook Window.

Possible Cause:

This error is probably indicative of some corruption within Outlook.

Remedy:

• Shutdown Outlook. Restart Outlook with the '/resetnavpane' switch. The easiest way to do this is Start → Run and in the Run box enter:

  outlook /resetnavpane

  This switch will reset the navigation pane for the current profile, which will have the effect of removing any shortcuts and favourite folders.
