I have Outlook 2010 x64 on Windows 7 x64. Today when I tried to open Outlook I got
Cannot start Microsoft Outlook.
Cannot open the Outlook window.
I rebooted my machine, nope. I tried outlook.exe /resetnavpane
and outlook.exe /safe
from the Run prompt, no joy. I ran scanpst.exe
and did a repair, no go. I went to the Mail control panel and created a completely new profile, still no luck.
I don't believe I've run Outlook for at least a week. I know several critical updates came through this past Tuesday; might one of them be the culprit? If at all possible I'd like to not have to do a restore or reinstall. Please tell me there's another way.
Edit: Should have mentioned, this is a client install for POP only, no Exchange.
