1. Click Start-Run.
2. Type "outlook /safe" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box, and then click Ok. Please note that there is a space character between outlook and /safe.


Step 3: Run a Detect and Repair of Outlook

1. Open Outlook
2. Help Detect and Repair...
3. Click Start
4. Restart Outlook to check if the problem is fixed
