Fix Outlook Problems the Easy Way

I recently had problems with my Outlook 2007 on my Windows XP Pro system at work.
Basically, the program wouldn’t start up properly. It would start and then encounter an error and try to restart itself (unless I unchecked the box to tell it not to).
It would then try to start itself in “Safe Mode” (does that imply that the normal mode is unsafe?), but that would also fail.
I tried uninstalling Outlook and re-installing it, but that made no difference.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Office 2007 suite, but again, that made
no difference. In the end, I found a website that described the same symptoms and proposed a solution. It was the User Profile that was corrupted - not the program itself. By creating a new profile, I was able to get Outlook running again, but it would still throw a few errors, especially after I had imported my folders and messages from my old profile.
Then I found an even easier way - a FREE program that fixes up corrupted Outlook Profiles. After running this on the old profile, Outlook worked perfectly.
So if you have the same problem of Outlook not starting up, check out Olfix.
It might just save you a lot of time and frustration.

Owing to instability of *.ost files, they are often corrupted and may contain viruses, cause email is one of the most popular ways to distribute malware,allows to read even corrupted files and you do not need to put any modifications to recovery process,will never modify source files, so, if you are not satisfied with this program, you can always try to return back to the beginning of process.
This happened to me too the other day, i.e., my user profile got corrupted and ALL my Outlook messages were just GONE. Anyway, this is what I stumbled upon to fix my outlook problem.
As I was fiddling with my PC, I saw my OLD Office settings which I created when I moved my PC files to my laptop. Anyway, so I just went to Start->Programs->Microsoft Office->Myicrosoft Office Tools->Save My Settings Wizard and this time I RESTORED my previous user settings and VOILA! my outlook profile was restoired too (and Igot my files back

I will take a look at the option in the near future if I encounter a similar problem. In my case, I always have my outlook back up to rely on in case of such problem. But I have been doing is to synchronize my outlook with my Gmail account so I can rely on Gmail for opening my mails just in case I encounter a problem with the former.
