Hi,

I just installed Office XP on a new PC and each time I open Outlook, it
closes on its on after about 3 seconds (its not even listed as an active
program when i do contr-alt-del). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling
the software but I run into the same problem. Interestingly, i can right
click on the outlook icon and and enter a menu that allows for setup of email
accounts, data files, and users..but I can't get the program to launch and
stay active.

Have you tried a Detect/Repair, using the CD?
Only running Apps will apear in Task Mngr

I tried restarting my PC in start mode and the program worked, so I then went
back and weeded out the start-up apps to narrow down who was conflicting with
outlook causing it to crash. I had reinstalled Office XP multiple times,
even upgraded versions but none of those helped.

Did you examine the Event Logs to see what errors appeared there?
