    Unhappy outlook error when opening

    I just tried to open outlook (not Outlook express) this morning and consistently get a dialog box saying an error has caused windows to cancel outlook and that an error log is generated.

    I searched for error and the only thing I found was a "D0100: I/O error (05/24/00) - Command error - invalid field in CDB". I don't seem to be getting errors from any other component.

    There are two entries like this, timestamped today at 7:04 and 7:05. I think there should be several more since I have tried to start Outlook several times. Not sure if this is the error windows is recording, but can't find anything else using search in Windows Explorer.

    I have never had to uninstall - reinstall Outlook before and am curious if I need to do anything special before I dive into the deep end of the pool? OBTW - is Outlook a component of Win2000 or the small business package? Win2000 help talks about outlook express, but not Outlook.

    Any help is really appreciated.

    hi:

    make sure you check for viruses

    http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

    do the online virus scan

    it can find viruses your computer virus scan misses


    good luck

    Thumbs up

    I was all set to uninstall / reinstall and I did the old 3 finger salute just to see what was happening before I dove in - It showed Outlook as a running process.
    Once I killed the process and double clicked Outlook again - everything is OK. Outlokk is sending / receiving OK.
    No idea what was happening.
