In that case you'd be closing Outlook normally indeed. The abnormal
termination most likely takes place during the normal shutdown or the
outlook.exe process is still taken hostage by something. Both scenarios are
very likely to be caused by troublesome addins.

I understand. I only closed it by clicking on the red 'X' to close it. No
system crash or Outlook crash. I will post the full error upon restart. I
do
a normal shutdown of apps and computer and no error from anything is
posted.
Only the abnormal start of Outlook. I will post the full error upon
restart
in an hour or so.

thanks

Ok, so did it close abnormally the last time?
For instance your PC crashed, Outlook crashed, you turned off your
computer
without closing Outlook first, etc...

The more precise and more details you post the better we can try to offer
any assistance.

It reported that the Outlook had closed abnormally and needed to start
in
safe mode so that the user could fix error....

thanks

What is the error in full? Outlook only starts in Safe Mode once when
an
error is detected. When you close Outlook properly, the next time it
will
launch in normal mode again.

I set my outlook to log into both my home and work accounts. When I
sign
on
at work, I get the safe mode start. I use a different laptop at home
to
access the accounts. Both laptops are on outlook 2007. I believe I
set
my
accounts up with my work mail being primary. Any direction would be
appreciated. I want to make sure that it is not going to be a
problem,
especially with my work account. thanks
