I hope I can get all my Outlook 2016 files, and whatever back.





Here's the story, Outlook 2016 suddenly quit, the error screen said 'if you continue to see this mssg, select 'create new data file to make a backup copy of your existing outlook file'

so that's what I did. Now when I try and open OLook I get 'Cannot start MS Outlook ... errors have been detected'



I'm on a Win 7 machine if that matters,

really hope someone can help with this one!

Try the 'Repair Office' functionality. Your profile says Office 2007 but your post is about Outlook 2016, so the exact steps may vary—I don't remember O2007 anymore

Going thru the uninstall Office routine should offer the Repair function, I think.
