Outlook.exe has caused errors and will
be closed by Windows
or Outlook.exe has caused
an error and will be closed by Windows...
Brain Racker...
Here's what was happening and
how I fixed it. You open Outlook (98, 2000 or 2002) and it opens
just fine. After a few minutes it dumps and presents you with
the error above in a nice little gray box (like the old days).
It closes and you get pissed cuz your a working man and you got
business to take care of...
I gotta tell ya... I spent hours
on this one and if you're reading this I'm sure you have too.
I did countless searches on the net only to find more variations
of this error and fixes. If I followed every one I'd be 99 years
old before I finished it.
Microsoft KB articles say to
uninstall, reinstall, remove all add-in's, and all sorts of other
stuff.
Want to know what it is???
Is a corrupted database... your
PST file is messed up buddy.
Oh, you say you ran the ScanPST
program and it showed nothing.. ScanPST can't fix this type of
error. The ScanPST inbox fixer provided by Microsoft was made
for a much earlier version of Outlook and the Inbox mail program.
In fact, the only time I've seen this Outlook error is when I
question people who have used the ScanPST checker. People who
are habitual users of the ScanPST tool seem to have the most
problems with their PST Outlook data files. I might be wrong
about this but I think the util that everybody is using is causing
the corruption. Just my 2 cents...
The Fix
You must make a NEW PST file
and import the data from the old one.

Make sure Outlook
is closed. |

Do
a search for the Outlook.PST file. It's not real easy to find. |
| |
Windows
9X (98,SE,ME)
Location = C:\WINDOWS\ |
| |
|
That's it.
If you want detailed instructions,
I might post them here later. You can email me and I can walk
you through it if you want but my $55 hour phone support will
apply.
