can anyone help me?

Hey CrazyMorton
Did you get the problem solved???

no i didn't.
i tried all the suggestions, I have tried the following
have run scanost and scanpst
have created a new profile and started outlook in this
i even deleted my .pst and an archive .pst

all to no avail, I'm stumped

I think it's Outlook reinstall time.

start outlook from the run box on the start menu using

outlook.exe -resetnavpane

that will usually fix the problem

start outlook from the run box on the start menu using

outlook.exe -resetnavpane

that's looking promising, 3 restarts tried so far and no error msg. going to totally shut down now and restart. hopefully it sticks.

i should also mention when i first started typing in this text it looks like my IT had tried it (i gave them my laptop for a day when i was in Melb recently) however they had
outlook.exe /resetnavpane

i ran that with no luck then changed the / to - and it's looking ok. will report back after the restart
