Problem Starting Outlook w/ BCM 2007 Beta 2

[Robert Shamie]

I have been running Oulook w/BCM2007 for about 3 weeks. Last night when
trying to start outlook, I would get an error which cased outlook to shut
down. Each time I try launch outlook I get the same error.

The only way I have been able to launch outllook is to disconnect from the
BCM database, create a new profile and launch outlook WITHOUT BCM 2007. The
minute I try connect to my BCM database, outlook shuts down and I can no
longer get it to even outlook. One vicious cycle.

What is strange is that other users CAN connect to my BCM database with no
problems.

I have tried unistalling BCM2007/SQL Server 2005, and then reinstalling and
that has not worked.

Please let me know what I can do to fix this and if any other users have
experienced the same issue.

For BCM start-up problems I recommend starting with a fusion log:

It's identified more than half of my start-up problems.

Luther,

Thanks for the link. While I consider myself pretty computer savy, this
debugging language is over my head. I was able to fix the problem by doing
the following.

Unistalled BCM, SQL Server, all of the other addins that are installed
during the BCM 2007 installation, Office 2007. Then I deleted the
directories with in my program files directory for the associated programs.
Then I went into the registry and deleted all referrences for Office and SQL
server 2005.

Reinstalled office then BCM and now working. Pain in the butt but that was
all I could thnkg of.

This beta is really buggy. Crashes all the time when running with BCM. Are
they going to realease any patches before the official final release? If so,
how do I get them and/or know they are available?

I expect there will be a new O12 beta or refresh before the final
release, but don't know what their actual plans are. I'd keep an eye on
the Office web site.

Any idea when the refresh is going to be released?
