Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.

[webyourstuff]

I'm getting msg:
"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window".

What happened before this is I accepted a Quicktime upgrade, then restarted without closing Outlook.



I have run the installation disc in repair mode, and have also replaced MSO.DLL to the original.

Still does not work.

I am resisting uninstalling/reinstalling because I don't want to lose my email history.

Two questions:
1. Anyone know how to fix this problem?
2. Anyone know how to back up my email and contacts so I can recover them after a reinstall?

thanks
Laura
