The problematic computer will run the program okay only if I manually start
Outlook before running the program.

Then the next best thing is to start Outlook, again in minimized form, during
the boot sequence. I don't exactly know how to do that, but if you have a
boot up script, you can use a command line switch. If you are willing to have
it visible, you just need to put a link in the appropriate start-up folder.
Then it is there when you need it.
