Try running Outlook using the safe switch to see if it then runs ok
Start
Run
Outlook.exe /safe

OK I certainly can (and will) follow this suggestion. But what's my
next step? Should I turn on logging (how?), and if so, should I do
that BEFORE I start to run Outlook in safe mode?

Are there any Outlook config files which I should delete, which would
then be rebuilt automatically by Outlook? Does it help to delete my
profile (and then have to re-install all my email accounts)?

I really, really appreciate this advice. I'm not trying to be
difficult. I'm just trying to know what steps to take without having
to clutter this group with new questions every day.
