I get this message "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window" Outlook crashed on me and when I went into it again it gave me the above. I look for the *.pst file in my C:\ drive and I cannot find it It looks like it just disappeared! I have XP pro 32 bit on an HP laptop1 person got this answerI do too

And what were you going to do when you found the pst file? - its a hidden file BTWYou've tried a repair using your office cd?TryStartRunoutlook.exe /resetnavpane

Is there a "repair routine" in The disks? If I found it I wanted to copy it to another safe location while I did a full re-install of Outlook 2007 and then move the copied file into the appropriate location to start new. What do you suggest I do?

When I put in the outlook.exe/resetnavpane it comes back that it cannot find it

theres a space between, exe /And what would you want to copy to a safe location?If you mean your data file, its only neccessary to copy it to eg Documents, with outlook closed.There is no appropriate location for an outlook data file, there is a default location.A remove / reinstall of Outlook will do nothing with regard outlook settings, as they are retainedYou can also run Office Diagnostics from eg Word (Word> Options)
