I know this has been addressed before, but there has not been a
solution that has helped. Last week I upgraded Office Ulitmate 2007
over Office 2003. All works well except Outlook, it always hung on
configuring accounts. I left it run for hours. It opened in safe mode
and worked OK, but that is not an ideal solution. I have tried: a new
profile, I renamed .dat files to .old (four files: outcmd,
extend,views, I forgot the other file), disabled all addins including
BCM, deleted the iTunes addin, tried with and w/o UAC, tried opening
as administrator, I shut the anti-virus down, I cleanned out the
registry. All MS updates and Office 2007 SP are installed. But, it
still froze at configuration.

Today I booted Vista Home P. in safe-mode (F5) and opened Outlook, the
configuring worked, and Outlook opened. Too easy! I rebooted in normal
mode, but now Outlook begings to open and now freezes (spash screen
opens and the title bar opens but nothing else). Even with a new mail
profile, nothing. In safe mode, it still works.

Do I delete and reinstall? Do I delete 2007, reinstall 2003 then
delete that? Do I live with safe mode?

Sorry this is long, I am at a loss!
