MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / September 2007Outlook 2000 crashed and won't open, how do I open?
Rely heavily on Outlook 2000, did not realize support so hard to find. Need to be able to at least start up and recover seven years of contacts, etc. Is there a standalone Outlook without buying the whole 'suite'? All your email, Contacts etc should be in one or more .PST files. They can opened with any version of Outlook provided they are not corrupt. Yes, you can buy stand-alone versions of Outlook. It might be easier to try and fix what you have but we need more info than just "crashed".

I will add info later this afternoon. I am not in front of the unit now.

See if it will run in Safe mode Outlook.exe /safe in the Run box. You might need the full path to Outlook. If that works try disabling all add-ins and try normally.

Tried the suggestion - the Outlook box shows in reducedsize and then goes to (not responding). I am not sure what to do next. > See if it will run in Safe mode > Outlook.exe /safe [quoted text clipped - 70 lines] > >> > > Is > >> > > there a standalone Outlook without buying the whole 'suite'?

It happens when it reaches a size close to 2Gb. Perform the following: - Find the .pst file. - Find SCANPST.EXE and run it. - Point to the .pst file that you found earlier when prompted. - This will scan the .pst file and sometimes fix the corruption. Note that depending on the size, it may run for a long time. I say "sometimes" because it doesn't work most of the time, but that's the only option available to you at this time. The data in the .pst file, even if corrupt, can be recovered using exmerge.exe utility, but you need a full Exchange environment to do that. Not at home I'm afraid. r. Try with a new profile via the mail icon in Control Panel as a test. If that works you can suspect a corrupt profile or damaged PST file. I'm assuming here that Outlook 2000 is in Corporate/Workgroup mode.

Totally lost. No idea wwwwwh any of this is supposed to work. /safe doesn't work, can't seem to find a .pst file, etc. > Try with a new profile via the mail icon in Control Panel as a test.

Thanks for attempting to help. It may work IF I could get Outlook to start. Don't have the time anymore to just sit and mess with it. > Just follow the steps here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/195718 > [quoted text clipped - 105 lines] > >> >> >> > > Is > >> >> >> > > there a standalone Outlook without buying the whole 'suite'? No sweat. With the lack of Support now for Outlook 2000 and update to a later version might be in order. Just keep in mind that you might still carry over this issue. At least you'd be eligible for support for it. SignatureBill R > Thanks for attempting to help. It may work IF I could get Outlook to > start.
