Outlook 2007 w/Exhange Account trying to view Calendar(Locks Up!)

[Mickey A]

What in the world has happened. This morning, I was trying to view my
calendar in Outlook 2007 and when doing so, my Outlook locks up and
ultimately have to kill the process. This happens every time I try this. I
can get to my contacts, email, NOTEs, etc...just fine. Just not the
Calendar. For grins, I went into the Web Interface of my Exchange account to
make sure I could still read the calendar(and others) via this interface. I
worked just fine.

At work today, I export my Exchange Account into a PST file and loaded into
Outlook 2003(I don't have 2007 license at work). Anyways, this worked just
fine. And to top it off, I generated a .PRF file from my provider and
created a new profile in 2003 and it loaded just fine with all of my current
Mailbox settings(as expected). I could read and maintain my Calendar just
fine here too.

So at this point, I am stuck as to what to do next. I have been using 2007
or a few weeks now and really like the newer features. Especially the
ability to export/email the .ICS(iCal file -> is that the right file that I
am thinking of). Well I can't get back to calendar to confirm this either. I
don't like the way that HTML is viewed(plenty of other posts ranting over
this) but feel like this may be resovled later in life via a Service Pack.

So - does anyone have any idea on how to resolve. It seems that it may be
local to my Vista PC although I was able to load another calendar PST file
that is local to this laptop? For the record, I am using 2003 exchange
account the best I can tell.

So - are there other ways to extract my calendar into .ICS iCal file. I
could go back to 2003 if that is the issue. Like I said, I just like "some"
of the newer features.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

try opening outlook using the /cleanviews switch.

Thanks for the idea(s). I did try that after posting this question. It
didn't work though. I ended up creating a new PROFILE. That worked but I had
to rebuild a few things. My Server(Exchange) mail, calendar and contacts all
synched up just fine. I will delete the OLD profile in a few days after I am
absolutely sure every thing synched.

Thanks for the reply.
