Hi, Sounds strange, but Outlook starts but I can't see it. Using Office XP on
Windows XP.

I start Outlook.  It appears to start, I hear drive working, resources drop,
Outlook shows up on the processes list.  I see a flash of the title/splash
page.  The Outlook Today tab shows up on my Task Bar. But I can't see the
pgm, just the desktop.

A few seconds later the reminders window pops up showing me my to-do list.  
I click on the task bar tab for Outlook and it indents, but no program shows,
just the desktop.

All other programs are working fine.  I haven't installed any new programs
in weeks.  Ran anti-virus, all ok.  Uninstalled office and reinstalled,
problem still exsists.  Installed Office updates.  Windows update runs
automatically.  Updated video card driver.  No improvement.

Looking for ideas before I re-install Windows XP.

Thanks,
Bruce

Do not reinstall the operating system for an Outlook problem. Start Outlook
again and look at the right lower corner of the screen--right side of
Taskbar. The Outlook icon should be there. Right click on it and uncheck Hide
when Minimized. Put a shortcut for Outlook on your Quick Launch bar and right
click on that and select Properties. Make sure that says Run in Normal
Window.
