  • Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

    I get the following error message when opening Microsoft Outlook (using Windows 7):
    Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. Errors have been detected in the file.
    C:/Users/owner/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Outlook/Outlook.pst.
    Quit Outlook and all mail enabled applications and then use the Inbox repair tool (Scanpst.exe) to diagnose and repair errors in the file. For more information about the inbox repair tool, see Help.
    I have tried the suggested fix of using the start menu, clicking "run" and then typing in "Outlook.exe /resetnavpane" and it did not work. Do I need some sort of a longer path to make this work?
    I cannot find the so called "inbox repair tool" and don't know how to use "scanpst.exe".
    Are all my old email folders now lost? How can I start using my Outlook email again?
    Thanks for any help. Susanne 

    It seems to me that your emails has not been lost, perhaps your outlook folder has been lost. to get your emails back you must try one of the following ways.
    Use backup file, if you have kept it in another location.
    if not then go to the:
    C:/Users/owner/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Outlook/Outlook.pst."
    and run the scanpst,exe tool to fix the outlook error on windows 7.
    If this application is not working or giving error then use a powerful PST Repair tool. which ,may become helpful for
    you.

  • Microsoft Office 2008 - can't open the file on PC

    I installed Microsoft Office For Mac 2008 and prepared a document using Word. Then I sent it to my brother's E-mail and he downloaded it. We couldn't see the file properly on his computer, which runs Windows. When we opened it with Word, there were just weird symbols. What is the problem?

    Was it saved with maximum compatibility turned on?
    Also, even though you shouldn't need to, to be sure of a PC user being able to view any Word document you send, save it as a PDF and send that instead. Just makes life easier.

  • "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The information store could not be opened." [Office 2013/Office 365]

    So here is the error in Outook 2013
    "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.
    The information store could not be opened."
    Very Very frustrating having spent three hours today reading forums, installing, reinstalling etc.
    HELP?
    1) I have completely un-installed and reinstalled Outlook 2013 (And also all of Office 2013)
    2) Have blown away all profiles and created new ones.
    3) Have blown away all Outook data files and starting from scratch
    4) Have run /resetnavpane............in an attempt to rebuild the navigation pane
    5) Have gone into Registry and deleted all remnants of previous Outlook installs, HKey_Local, System Current
    config......Office etc.
    6) I have spent hours reading online fixes/technet forums etc..............to no avail.
    Please give more suggestions.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Basically you have tried a lot but the issue still exists, now one more suggestion I can provide is to make sure Outlook is not configured to run in Compatibility Mode:
    Take Windows 7 for example, in Start -> Type "Outlook" in the search box -> Right click on the "Outlook 2013" shortcut -> Click Properties -> Under Compatibility tab -> Make sure "Run this program in compatibility
    mode for" is clear.
    This method has resolved the issue for some users in this thread below:

    I hope the information is helpful.

  • Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window

    I have had Microsoft office 2007 Pro+ on my computer for a year...and have had no issues with the program until about 3 months ago when the this same error message appeared........Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook Cannot open outlook window......After reinstating the program I was told by the tech I could correct this by typing Outlook/resetnavpanel and pressing the window key and R.
    I am not sure how to do this. Can you help??
    If i reinstall the program will that help?

  • Outlook 2010 : Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

    Hi
    Using Outlook 2010 with an Exchange 2003 back-end.
    Already have an Outlook profile (created in Outlook 2003).
    When launching Outlook 2010 I get:
      "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window"
    I've read several posts with this error message and a common "workaround" / "solution" was to run:  “Outlook.exe /resetnavpane”
    I tried that and it didnt resolve the issue.
    The only way I found to resolve this was to create a new Outlook profile.
    Launching with a new Outlook profile works fine.
    - Is this a "known issue" ?
    - Is there a way to diagnose / throubleshoot further without having to create a new profile?
    Thanks
    - AL

    Hi,
    Thank you for using Outlook IT Pro Discussions forum. 
    This problem can occur when file that maintains the Navigation Pane settings becomes corrupted. This file is called profilename.xml, where profilename is the name
    of your Outlook profile. Normally, we can resolve this issue by starting Outlook with the command
    Outlook.exe /resetnavpane
    or
    creating a new Outlook profile.
    Next time, you may also try to rename the profilename.xml from the folder first to see if the issue can be resolved:
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
    Windows Vista, Windows 7: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
    For more information, you can refer to this KB article:

  • Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set fo folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profil

    Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set fo folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)
    OK. This is a new outlook setup on a laptop. The mail account is on a MS Exchange Server 2010. The user can log on to their laptop no problem with their AD login and password. To setup the outlook profile we have checked the name OK. When we click finish
    and try to start outlook we get the above error message. It is driving me pots as I have tried also of things. I have tried to connect without catching the files. The error message then says that the Exchange Server is down, yet we checked the name OK and
    I can log on to the MS Exchange server and see the setup.
    What else is it that I need to look at as I have tried everything. I will add that they one service I see not running is the Exchange RPC service. If I try to start it, it fails saying Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services
    or programs.
    What can I do?

    The major cause of this problem is a corrupted Navigation Pane settings file – profilename.xml, where “profilename” is the name of your Outlook profile. A good sign that the
    file is corrupted is when the size of the file is shown 0 KB. No one knows the precise reason why this takes place, but all versions of Outlook from 2003 to 2013 may get affected.
    Other causes may be when you run Outlook in the compatibility mode, or if you are using a profile generated in an older Outlook version, or if the Outlook data file (.pst or .ost)
    was removed or damaged as the result of faulty uninstallation or reinstallation of MS Outlook.
    Follow the steps given below to resolve this problem
    1. Recover Navigation Pane configuration file
    2. Repair your Outlook PST file using Inbox Repair tool
    3. Create a new Outlook profil and import data from the old PST file
    4. Turn off Compatibility Mode
    5. Start Outlook in Safe Mode

  • This form template is not currently browser-enabled. It must either be republished as a browser-enabled form, or opened using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007

    Hi,
    When I try to open a Infopath related file from Sharepoint, I am receiving the below error. 
    This form template is not currently browser-enabled. It must either be republished as a browser-enabled form, or opened using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007.
    Office Professional Plus 2010 and Infopath 2010 are installed in my Windows 7 Enterprise edition. Have executed ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\InfoPath.exe" /cache ClearAll" the command. But still getting the same error.
    It works in different machine. Repaired Office 2010 and Infopath. 
    Please let me know if any solution available.

    Hi,
    You can try Amit Bajaj's method in another thread which has fixed the same problem for several users:
    Check if the default “Form Templates” option in appearing under “View all site contents” page. If it is not enabled by
    default, then you can follow this following steps.
     If "Office SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Features" is enabled but we don't see the default "Form Templates" on the "View
    all site contents" page, then you should use the following steps.
    Make sure they have backup of everything.
    Opened the site http://<your site url> in SharePoint Designer.
    Select the root URL and click FILE >> NEW >> SharePoint Content
    Choose Document Library >> Form Library
    Under options type the name as “FormServerTemplates” and it will create the content.
    Now right click on “FormServerTemplate” and open “Properties”
    On settings Tab change the name to “Form Templates” and uncheck the option “Use a template for new documents”
    Click OK
    Now you should see “Form Templates” on the view all site content page.
    You should be able to publish the InfoPath form with "Enable this form to be filled out by using a browser."

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

    I am trying to run this package as an sql server agent job and  server is installed on my Machine. I have created proxy account with my own credential to execute it. I have full excess to the spread sheet and can open it in an excel program. Please
    suggest what could be the reason why sql job is not able to access this spreadsheet. I can think of below reasons
    File is password protected and I am not using its password to unlock it?
    My domain account is a part of It Admin group with high previllages
    when I installed my SQL server I installed it as a standalone instance of SQL server?
    please advise.
    regards
    JKH

    Hi Jahangir,
    Based on the error message that "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file ''.  It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.", there are two causes:
    The account that SQL Agent is using does not have the correct permissions for the file or for the folder that contains the file.
    Another process or user has the file open.
    The following resolutions correspond to the previous list of causes:
    Since you use a network path to the file (UNC), check the account permissions on the share, the file, and the folder.
    The "another user" may be Microsoft Visual InterDev. Close any Visual InterDev projects that contain a data connection to the file. Please close all instances of excel file and re-run the package.
    Besides, we can use a tool like
    SQL Server Profiler to see what is happening when you run the package.
    Thanks,

  • Cannot open the templates in Open Office with Firefox 7

    I just upgraded to FF7 & notice I cannot open the templates in Open Office using the 7 upgrade.. FF did have an extension out there "OpenOffice.org Menu 1.2.1" but it does not work with 7.. So now what ? I have Open Office & it works fine but if I want to open & use any of the templates I'm out of luck..

    AFAICT, Office 2004 apps don't support the Services architecture. Peruse the newsgroups at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups for more information.

    I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now.  HELP!!!

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
    If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

    Jim
    Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I am not that tech oriented and
    cannot easily find that folder. I did notice when I was booting up the LR software
    that I could accept the site where LR usually is set up or choose a place. I am
    thinking that the standard location for LR software is corrupted and that if I
    chose a different place it would work. I say this because whether I use my
    original disc or download from adobe I get the same warning. I have 100GB of
    memory on the hard drive and I have cleaned the computer with Mcaffee and free
    software. What should I do next? I can't use this software and I doubt LR 5
    would open up with my current problem.
