My outlook does this every few months and I have someone come in and repair it but they are not around. Basically it locks up, doesnt download my emails and I get a message when I try to open it that it shut down improperly and that I needs to check for errors and it takes 10 minutes to open up and then it crashes out again. Any ideas of what to do to remedy problem?

Thanks

I had the same problem and it took me weeks to figure out what the problem was. Go into tools - trust center - then click on add-ins. At this point, you will see at bunch of stuff that has been included to run with outlook. Scroll down to Manage *COM-INS* box and click go. It will open a box that gives you the option to uncheck the different add-ins that are installed. At this point, with my experience anyway, I unchecked everything but my anti-virus and it did the trick. Most of the add-ins don't 'need' to run in Outlook. Hope this helps! :)

Hey, just wanted to update this thread. I just updated my iTunes and when I did, the same problem came back with Outlook. It turns out that every time you update iTunes, it will put a new add-in to Outlook regardless of what your previous settings were. Once again, all I did was disable iTunes add-in and bingo!! It did the trick.
