“Cannot start Microsoft Office outlook”

Outlook 2003/2007 fails to open:

“Cannot start Microsoft Office outlook. Cannot open the outlook window”

Run the following run command:

  • Outlook.exe /resetnavpane

This little fix normally solves a number of outlook problems, so before doing anything run this… if this doesn’t work then I would look into further issues including different run switches.
