Microsoft Office Professional 2007-Outlook won't open

I have the same problem but when I go to Program Files/Microsoft
Office/Office12 I don't find a Scanpst file. I, too, have Office 2007
running on Vista. Any new ideas?

Thanks

I'm having the same problem. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate, and
have had no problem with Outlook until yesterday (having run on Windows 7 for
over a week). When I try to open, I get "Can't open the Outlook window"
error.

I've run scanpst - it found and fixed errors, but that didn't solve the
problem.

I'm open for any suggestions!

I have encountered the similar problem some days before. I found a
good tool called Advanced Outlook Repair. You can download a free demo
version at http://www.datanumen.com/aor/aor.exe . I think it is a
useful repair tool for you. It is easy to recover your PST file by
using its wizard. It is a powerful tool to recover messages, folders
and other objects from corrupt or damaged Microsoft Outlook PST
files.

Detailed information about Advanced Outlook Repair can be found at
http://www.datanumen.com/aor/
