Outlook shuts down immediately

[Iulian]

My Outlook went crazy since yesterday... After 2 years of working perfectly,
since yesterday, when I start it, it opens, I can see everything for like 5
seconds and then it shuts down. No message, no error. What can it be and how
can I check to see who interferes with it. What is even stranger is that
there is nothing new installed on this machine, except, maybe some automatic
updates made by Windows...

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Iulian
