Outlook 2007 send/receive shuts down computer

LQB — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:07:56 +0000

If I leave my laptop off for a few days and the messages start piling up, whenever I start Outlook send/receve it shuts down the computer. A dialog box flashes up saying something like “cmd.exe error. The application failed to initialize properly and will be terminated.” In the past, I could usually resolve it by trying again and again. Now it seems to be the exactly same thing every time I try. I’ve tried starting Outlook in safe mode but it does the same thing. I can start Outlook offline no problem, but as soon as I send/receive, the same crash happens. I’m running Vista 64, if that matters….
Any ideas? Do I need to re-install Outlook? If so, can I do that without losing my folders, .pst files, etc.?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Outlook Crashing when changing meeting with proposal open

IndyTech — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:25:34 +0000

One of the Admin Asst. at our office keeps crashing her Outlook when she changes meetings on a calendar. She manages several calendars and it happens regardless of which one she is working on, or if the meeting is a single time or recurring one. This only occurs if she has the meeting notice actively open when she makes the change. Example: Pres. has scheduled an Exec meeting to occur every Friday at 5p. CEO sent a proposal for this Friday to be at 3:30 instead. AA opens proposal, goes to calendar, changes time and saves, then closes proposal. Result is Outlook crashes. IF the proposal is closed before the meeting is saved, the crash does not occur.
Trying to determine if this is user generated error due to order of steps performed, or if it is an issue that can be ‘fixed’ and should work even if the proposal is open when saving the change.
