(if you have the setup disk burnt to a file) and run a repair on outlook.

i had the same today on a Users PC apartfrom it ran the repair from the exchange

i tried running setup.exe from my cd and after i clicked it, nothing happens!

Another way of approaching the problem is, when you get that error message, go into Task Manager and close Outlook from there. Then, the system should recognize it as being "properly" closed!

If this problem occurs with any MS Office file (don't know if Outlook is set up with the same Menus) you can "properly" close it by using the Menu. go to "File" and select "Close."

I have had a similar problem with MS Word docs apparently not closing "properly" --- and I have finally solved the problem after lots of trial and error --- now I just use one or both of those methods.
