Cannot start Outlook after Crash

[ppt diva]

Hello,
I'm using Office 2007 and had a major computer crash while working in
PowerPoint. I restarted in normal mode, and everything's working fine now
except for Outlook. I can't open Outlook at all - I get an error message that
says "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window."
Can anyone please help?
Thanks.

Start outlook with the /resetnavpane switch.
See http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/switches.htm if you need help using
switches.

This could mean that the Navigation Pane settings have become corrupt.
Start Outlook with the /resetnavpane switch.

Start-> Run; outlook.exe /resetnavpane

If that doesn't work, does it work in Outlook Safe Mode?
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /safe

Considering you had a crash while Outlook was running, it is recommended to
scan your pst-file(s) for errors as well.

Thank you both so much for your help! Apparently it was that my Navigation
Pane settings had become corrupt, and I did Start-> Run; outlook.exe
/resetnavpane, and it worked perfectly. You saved me some major time and
stress while I was working with a new cient, so I really appreciate your
help. I owe you each 10 PowerPoint tips
