the same laptop for my wife but outlook will not open.

Oliver,

thank you for the links - it has obviously worked for them but I am still a
little confused as to how they did it. It involved remaming of vbscript files
etc. Can you (or Mitch or Milly) give fuller more detailed instructions as to
how they solved this problem.
Many thanks
Graham

Dear Graham,

everything that you will need is in the posting of Milly Staples [MVP

1st Step: "Start->Run-> regsvr32 vbscript.dll ->Enter"

I did a rename the "vbscript.dll"

so search for vbscript.dll and change the name to "vbscript_old.dll"

....then ran detect and repair in Word.
Then I went to file/folder
C:\Docoments and settings\user\Application data\Microsoft\1033 (your language)
and rename to old like the vbsript.dll
This solved the problem

Create a new Profile.
