    Outlook ONLY Works In Safe Mode
    Outlook 2002

    It started yesterday
    I tried shutting down most everything in the start up menu (msconfig)
    I tried updating and cleaning out all spy/mal/ad ware (in safemode)
    I tried system restore
    I uninstalled and reinstalled.....
    Outlook
    then the entire Office
    then tried to repair the OS (XP Home)
    then reinstalled the OS

    I dont know what I'm missing

    :rolleyes:

    Did you try a repair of office? That might work instead of uninstall/reinstall. :confused:

    edit/ Have you downloaded the latest patches for it?

    Yes I tried the repair first
    to no avail
    Patches for Office?

    You might try this if nothing else is working.

    With Outlook closed, find and rename the outcmd.dat file to outcmd.old. Then reopen Outlook.
