Xp machine upgraded to Outlook 2007 halts when email is started

[chuckb74]

I have an lenovo notebook win xp pro that had office 2003 programs, I just
upgraded Outlook 2003 to 2007, install went great but now I have problems
whenever I start and email I type one letter in the email and the program
halts.
My machine has 3gb memory and has run very stable under office 2003, is that
possibly the problem that 2003 and 2007 doesn't play well together.
Thanks

Use start> Run
enter: "outlook.exe /safe" without the quotes, note space between exe /
Is it now OK?

Thanks DL , That worked ..... but what does that mean? Disable all add-ins?
I have seen that alot as I have searched these forums??

Thanks

It generally means one of the addins is not playing well with Outlook, the
most common culprit is any intergrated anti virus app.
