Outlook 2000 hanging on startup

[Rob]

I have a Dell laptop running ME and I have Office 2000. I
have had no problems with Outlook when it suddenly it
started hanging on startup. I did a restore back one
iteration that is one day. Dtill hangs. So I uninstalled
Office, rebooted and reinstalled. Still hangs...

Can anyone hepl me??

You may have a corrupted outcmd.dat file. This is the file that stores
your toolbar customizations, and when it becomes corrupted, Outlook
can't use it at startup to build your toolbars, thus causing the
hangups. Try renaming or deleting your outcmd.dat file while Outlook is
closed. Renaming it might be the best idea if you have a lot of
customizations that you'd prefer not to lose; that way if renaming the
file doesn't solve your problem, you may be able to restore it later
when you do get Outlook working properly again.
