Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

Start->run..then type the following -> "Outlook.exe /resetnavpane"

Should solve your problem.


The way to fix this is to do a system restore.
Below is a link to those instructions.

While the "broken profile" part of this post belongs in the Vista forum.
I'm going to suggest that you pop over to the Office forum for the Outlook part. That is more appropriate for them to handle.
Hope this helped!

You want the settings or the data?  If its your old data you're after, attach your old .PST file to the new profile you created:

Reconnect your old Outlook data file

If the data file won't open in the new profile, it may be damaged:
