Links inside Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 result in a "General Failure" message instead of loading in Firefox 7

When I click a link inside Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, it results in a "General Failure" message instead of loading the link inside Firefox 7 (previous versions of Firefox loaded OK, this issue has only arrived with the recent upgrade).

See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

Microsoft Office Outlook Error Message

Can't open Microsoft Office Outlook. the following error message appears everytime i try to open the email:
errors have been detected in the file: C:\users\TPRJ001\AppData\local\microsoft\outlook\outlook1.ost
quit outlook and all mail-enabled applications, and then use the repair tool (scanpst.exe) to diagnose and repair errors in the file

Hi,
Based on the research, this issue can be caused by several factors, such as the corrupt PST
file, incompatible Outlook add-ins, and corrupt Outlook Profile. At this point, I recommend that we follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue.
Step 1: Repair the PST
file
=====================
The "Microsoft Office Outlook Inbox Repair Tool" utility is available to repair the PST
file. I suggest you perform the following steps to run this utility and repair the PST
file first.
1.
Click Start, click Run, enter "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX\SCANPST.EXE" and press Enter.
NOTE: If Inbox Repair Tool window does not appear, please click Start, click Search and search for "SCANPST.EXE"
file.
2.
In the Inbox Repair Tool, please enter/paste the path below:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst
3.
Click Start to begin scanning your
file.
When you are finished with the Inbox Repair Tool, restart Outlook to check the results.
If the issue persists, let's start the Outlook in Safe Mode to test the issue.
In this mode, the add-ins won't be loaded with the Outlook program and it will become more stable.
Step 2: Start Outlook in Safe Mode
===============================
1. Close Outlook first. Click Start, and click on Run.
2. In the Open field, type: "Outlook /safe" (without the quotation marks).
   Notes: There is a space character between Outlook and the forward slash (/).
3. Press Enter.
However, if the error message still occurs when exiting Outlook, I recommend that we create a new Outlook profile to troubleshoot the issue.
Note: A new Profile is a new environment for us to use Outlook. To create a new Profile is only for a test to see if the problem is related to the corrupt Profile of Outlook. Creating new Profile will not do any damage to the old Profile.
Step 3: Test in a new Outlook Profile
============================
1. On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
2. Click Switch to Classic View, and then click the Mail icon.
3. In the Mail Setup dialog box, click the Show Profiles button.
4. On the General tab, click to select the Prompt for a profile to be used check box.
5. Click Add.
6. In the Profile Name box, type a descriptive name for the new profile, and then click OK.
7. In the E-mail Accounts dialog box, click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
8. Select the appropriate server type for your new e-mail account, and then click Next.
9. Fill in the appropriate information as prompted to configure the account again, and then click Next.
10. Click OK.
11. Restart Outlook and select the new profile in the popup window.
12. Please check if the issue occurs in the new/empty Outlook profile.
For more information, please refer to the following Knowledge Base article:

If the issue still occurs, please let us know.

Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 - Activation after hardware change

Have an original Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 software which is licenced for 3 computers.
In the past had it up and running OK on a Hewlett Packard PC and a Samsung Netbook.
When I made some changes to the PC early last year it asked me to activate again, and the process worked OK and was carried out online.
A few months ago my PC crashed, so I took the harddrive out of the PC and inserted it into the shell of another old HP PC, which resulted in me having to activate it again.
Now (while abroad) my Netbook crashed and I took out the harddrive and installed it in to the shell of an old Samsung Laptop.
It is now asking me to activate, however when I try it says I exceeded the number of permitted installs (which rubbish, as they not copied on to new computers while left on the old ones but physically still on the same drive, even if totally different motherboard
etc)!
As it won't activate online it gives an option of activating by telephone, but if you select this option in the wizard the wizard disappears and no list of contact numbers appears.
Obviously trying to call back to the UK to speak to a UK call centre would be costly and even if I get to a person how do I enter the code (that I have) if the wizard is not open to key it in to?
If I call a local number the support will be in Estonian or Russian rather than English and can they support a UK purchased software rather than locally purchased one?
It is a real pain!
Makes you want to switch to OpenOffice!
Can any of you email me at mueller at tesco dot net and tell me what I can do?
Being out of work at the moment I can not afford to upgrade to the latest version, and my son needs to use Office on this laptop for his schoolwork.
I can give you my AAAAA-AAAAA-NANAA-NANAA-NAAAA type activation code if you need it but thought it best not to post it on an open forum.
Thanks, Regards, Richard

Hello Bhatt,
Most probably your PC was corrupted by the Dell software you downloaded. First of all, I'd recommend contacting the Dell support service representative. Also you can try to re-install Office.
Finally, I'd recommend asking such question on the
Microsoft Community forum instead. The current forum is for Office developers.

Microsoft Office outlook is synchronising folders

My email programme is Outlook. I keep getting a message on my PC (5-10mins) that "Microsoft Office outlook is synchronising folders" is this because I have the blackberry desktop manager installed. The message repeats all the time I am logged on to my PC. (not only when I synchronise my BB)
This slows down my applications drastically!

Hello Peter,
You may find the following links helpful:

(.pst and .ost)
Errors have been detected in the file
- outlook0.OST - use the repair tool (scanPST.exe)
outlook 2010 Errors have been detected in the OST. scanpst crashes
Anyway, the current forum is for developers. I'd suggest asking non-programming questions on the
Outlook IT Pro Discussions forum instead.

Outlook Calendar Sync Issue "Microsoft Office Outlook Offline Folders"

I am experiencing an issue synchronizing my Outlook Calendar with my iPhone. I am using the latest version of Itunes (7.6.2.9).
To reproduce:
1) Sync Outlook calendar with Iphone.
In Outlook, the following error displays:
"Microsoft Office Outlook Offline Folders"
"The file C:\Documents and Settings\<name>\Local Settings\Application Data\microsoft\outlook\outlook.ost is in use and could not be accessed. Close any application that is using the file, and then try again."
At this point, in order to view any mail or calendar entries, I am required to reboot my computer and relaunch Outlook. I had to disable synchronization with the iphone.
I followed the troubleshooting Calendars hints from the Support site, and I clicked "Reset Sync History." This seems to have temporarily fixed the problem, but I am not confident I won't receive the error again.
Is there a permanent fix for this?

This may be more than a temporary fix, so I would wait and cross that bridge if and when the same error message turns up.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.

Below is how it is being done. This worked perfectly for years. MS Office 2007 does complain that the file extension does not match the data format (it's a tab delimited text file but I'm pretending it's an Excel file so they'll be prompted to view it as a spreadsheet in Excel) but you just click open and it works fine. This issue with IE is new. Let me know if you have any more ideas.

Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 Synchronies, network bandwidth jammed Problem.

I have installed Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 (Standard Edition) in an about 5-6 Laptops, and I am facing issue that while synchronization is going on, my office network bandwidth is being affected. It utilises huge network bandwidth, and because
of that network gets jammed. I have configured using IMAP protocol and using my gmail account in that.
Can any one help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
DIPAK AHIR.

Hi,
For your first question : YES network issue happen to all Laptops.
I will explain you the scenario, We are having some where about 80 machines (Including Desktops and Laptops) in our office network, all are working under same internet network. Out of this 80 Users We have 5-6 Laptop users who are using Microsoft
Office Outlook 2013 (Standard Edition). All these 5-6 Laptop Users are having different amount of mails (items) as well as folders. Once any of these user starts his / her mail client - Microsoft Office Outlook 2013, suddenly our network bandwidth gets chocked
and because of which my rest of the 80 users are not getting the Internet access. We have to ask them (Laptop user who has switched ON their Microsoft Office Outlook 2013) to close their mail client, Once Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 has been closed my network
gets stable. At first we thought that it is because of mails are getting downloaded from mail server and hence network is getting jammed, so we did another exercise that let their mails gets downloaded to their local machine and afterwords - next time when
they will start their mail client network should not be affected. But this network jammed scenario is still there, hence I ought to raise this issue.
For your information we have tried removing profile, deleted required folders and reconfigured Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 but still issue is being replicated.
Need your help for the same.
Thanks.
Dipak Ahir.
