Hi Brian,

Thanks for that, I did find the outcmd.dat files and deleted it but the
problem continues.

Do you have any more suggestions please.

The OUTCMD.dat file is not in that folder. all hidden folders are selected
to be visible so its a bit strange.

When Outlook is visable in the system tray it is running a process. The
only way I can exit the process is through Task Manager or by shutting down
my PC. Outlook doesnt work on reboot.

Stop Outlook in Task Manager, then try deleting the file outcmd.dat in the
(usually hidden) folder
%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook. Does that make a difference?

The only other thing that crosses my mind is a complete uninstall, being sure
that all the files are gone and the associated registry keys removed, and a
reinstall. If that doesn't work, I'm stuck.

If Brian's suggestion of a reinstall doesn't work, you should consider
creating a new profile on the computer, then creating your Outlook profile
logged in with that profile to see if that resolves your Outlook issue. It's
possible your NT profile is corrupted.

I was running into the exact same problem. I found that when I start
Outlook originally by right clicking on Outlook in my quick launch and
clicking "run as adim" it will work perfectly..minimizes to system tray
and opens correctly from there.
Hope that helps
