re: Microsoft outlook 2007 HANGS Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 2:52 pm Windows 7 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MartinM (5167 messages posted) Outlook is prone to this - its probably not W7 or the interaction with W7 so I'd post at woody's Lounge - www.wopr.com Having said that there are two causes I know of: 1. outlook.pst is corrupt. Search for this file and rename it. When it starts Outlook will create a new one. you might be able to recover mail in the old .pst file if you open it from Outlook - but not always. 2. Sometimes Outlook gets knotted up trying to do its "on open" send and receive when the Internet connection is not quite ready. Curiously this doesn't happen if the connection is absent, when Outlook is intelligent enough not to try. You might try opening Outlook with your connection disabled which will tell you if that's the cause. A reinstall is the only cure I know - if you have mails you want to save, rename your outlook.pst file first and you'll be able to open it from the new Outlook. Of course 2 years (2007 -> 2009) is far too soon to get a stable product - that's why I'm sticking to Outlook 2003 for now :-) Written in response to: Microsoft outlook 2007 HANGS (Raymond: Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 1:54 pm) Responses to this message: re: Microsoft outlook 2007 HANGS - and . .
