Outlook 2007 - "Cannot Open Window" error with fix

[zagood]

Received this error today:

Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

After finding nothing here and getting lost on the MS Support site, found a fix through Google, which I should have checked in the first place:

Go to run and type outlook.exe /resetnavpane

Simple. Worked. Pissed me off that I spent a half hour looking for this, deleted my *.pst (after making a backup of course) etc. Just passing it along for anyone that stumbles across this error.

Yup, had that one before. Always worth letting the masses know just in case they get it!

I get this error quite frequently (at least once a week) sometimes more. Getting quite annoying really but at least I have the /resetnavpane trick memorized now.

If it's happening that regularly something is not right, and is screwing with your profile folders.
