Hi Outlook013,

does Outlook runs in the backgroud several times?

Have a look in the Task Manager under "process".

If not, I would try a new Outlook profile:

Have used Outlook 2003 without issue on this PC for several years. Auto
Updates is on. Outlook now will not open.

The Outlook desktop appears, then the message "Business Contact Manager
has
encountered a problem and needs to close..." After getting past this
Error
Reporting message, the next box offers to "Start in Safe Mode to isolate
the
problem..." This only results in a repeating circuit of these same two
messages (see above) over and over as I click through them.

I tried to troubleshoot by reinstalling Outlook and Business Contact
Manager
with no effect. No specific message appears identifying a corrupt file or
missing component. I cannot use Windows diagnostic tools as I cannot open
the program.

Help! Thanks.
