"Outlook could not create the work file." error. All settings look good, any ideas?

[Booshanky]

Hi everyone.

Got a laptop here running windows 7 home premium and office 07. Outlook is just checking a simple pop account, but occasionally (maybe one time in 7 or 10) when outlook opens, it'll pop up this error

"Outlook could not create the work file. Check the temp environment variable."

I've googled that and mostly it has to do with the temp folder either not existing or having incorrect permissions. I've checked the temp folder in the registry and it's correct, and the permissions are also correct on the folder.

Any other ideas about why this might be happening? I've uninstalled/reinstalled office, done just about everything I can think of.



Thanks,
