Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot initialize Microsoft Office shared
utilities. Restart your computer or reinstall Microsoft Office Outlook.

I have totally uninstalled the entire OFFICE suite including Outlook and
then rebooted and reinstalled the entire OFFICE suite including Outlook from
scratch.

No change. I have tried this a number of times and it does not make any
difference. There must be something else that needs to be removed to allow
the reinstall procedure to rebuild the Microsoft Office shared utiliteis area.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

This has also happened today to me, after my computer downloaded some
automatic upgrades overnight, which required a restart and after I downloaded
the 2007 Beta converter to share files with earlier versions of Office.

I also had just run the trial version of Microsoft Live OneCare beta...

Outlook 2007 will not now run and I get the error message "Outlook was
unable to initialize shared utilities, either restart your computer or
reinstall Outlook". I have tried both approaches and neither works. I have
the 2003 Professional Edition of Office, Windows XP and have been
automatically installing upgrades

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling 2007 and now it will not allow me
to open any 2007 applications at all, but says I do not have enough memory to
run them. This is despite me running a brand new Dell Dimension 5150 with
oodles of memory to spare.

If I try to uninstall 2007 and instead to repair and run Outlook 2003, it
tells me I have the wrong version of a driver caused by "another messaging
application".

I now cannot read any emails or use any of the 2007 applications.

Advice please from someone at Microsofy technical....

Many thanks
