"Lync 2013" error we're sorry, but outlook has run into an error that is preventing it from working

Hi -
So I've an legal Office 2013 version running on my Surface Pro 2, which works fine. 
I installed lync client 2013 (not from the appstore, but the desktop version) and on first sight, seems to work as well. 
Now comes the issue - when I want to join a meeting, the following error comes up:
"we're sorry, but lync has run into an error that is preventing it from working''
I already re-installed Office and Lync several times - but the error keeps coming and it getting really frustrated because I cannot join any meeting.
Tim

Hi,
Please check if the Lync conference add-in is active in Outlook.
You can check with the following steps:
Click File button on Outlook, Options--Add-Ins. Make sure the Lync Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013 in the list of "Active Application Add-ins". If it is in Inactive Application Add-ins or Disabled Application Add-ins, active it and then restart
Lync client and Outlook to test the issue.
If the issue persists, please also delete Lync user profile and Outlook profile to test the issue.
Best Regards,
Eason Huang

  • Office 365 Error: We're sorry, but (program name) has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. (Program name) will need to be closed as a result.

    Today we had this error code on starting Office programs out of the blue. We've had this error in the past and we know what caused it, but that action wasn't taken. I've already read other posts, but no "Answer" provides a real solution to a clear
    problem with Office 365.
    The error: "We're sorry, but (program name) has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. (Program name) will need to be closed as a result."
    It offers "Repair Now", then the two following options: "Online" or "Offline". Neither are effective.
    In the past we used the Office 365 Fix It tool, but uninstalling and reinstalling Office on a regular basis is unacceptable. Resorting to web apps is also not going to happen.
    Running Win 7 Pro 64 bit, fully updated.
    We're starting to get fed up with this broken software. Paying monthly for programs that don't work is ridiculous. Any real answers would be greatly appreciated!

    Locate your Office application and check the setting of Compatibility.
    For example,
    Right click on Excel (.exe) > Properties > Compatibility > uncheck all the boxes, click Ok and check if it helps.
    To access Excel (.exe), open the following location:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Excel.exe
    Or
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\Excel.exe
    Try to open Excel and check if it opens.

    Hi,
    Uninstall Office and install it again in Clean Boot to determine if background programs are interfering with this:

  • Getting an error that's preventing my from watching Quicktime format videos

    I'm getting the following message:
    Heading
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:/Program Files/Quicktime/QuickTimePlayer.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    *Ok button*
    So far I haven't seen anything that looks like I could ask for help from someone so I came here after a few days of unsuccessful attempts to completely uninstall the program as to get rid of the message. When I go to uninstall the Quicktime Player the Install Wizard partially loads but suddenly stops for reasons unknown to me. Right now the only solution I can see is entering the Run menu and manually removing all QuickTime Player data but I don't remember the exact command to do so. If anyone can point me to some support or suggest other solutions I'd be quite grateful.

  • My Officejet 8000 is getting a false Magenta out of ink error that's preventing it from printing.

    Even after putting a new Magenta cartridge in it still gets a false out of ink error for that cartridge.

    There are several cases where color ink would be used even if you are printing mostly black and white:
    Some ink is used to keep the printheads from clogging as they are waved around in the air while printing black.
    Color ink is typically used for printing graphics unless "Print in Grayscale" and "Black ink only" are selected.  The color drops are much smaller and give better print for graphics.
    Ink is used from all colors when a new color cartridge is installed to remove air from the supply tubes.
    Black ink is not used to print on photo paper.  The pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper, color ink will be used even when printing B&W on photo paper.
    The document here described how ink is used.

  • Microsoft Office Home Premium: Office has run into an error....

    I recently upgraded from Office 2007 to Office 365 Home Premium which includes Outlook 2013.
    When I click on Open iCloud Control Panel I first get the iCloud Control Panel.
    Then I get a window from Outlook: We're sorry, but Mirocsoft Office has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly.
    Microsoft Office will need to be closed as a result.
    Would you like us to repair now?
    Any ideas?

    No problem.
    I uninstalled Office 365 and installed Office 2010.
    Then uninstalled iCloud, downloaded it fresh and reinstalled.
    All working fine now.
    Might be nice to put a little stronger message in the Control Center.
    When I installed Office 365 I believe I saw a message in iCC that said something like
    'there are two Outlooks on the system. iCloud will only work with one'.
    Then it wanted me to do the setup for iCloud. iCloud didn't seem to balk at setting up into 2013.
    But I'm guessing it really didn't install properly.
    I appreciate that quick post about Outlook 2013 and iCloud support.
    That saved me a lot of time.
    Office 365 loses the Windows Search facility. That comes back by regressing
    to 2010. I use that a lot. I missed it the short time I was on 2013.
    Off topic, but can Yahoo mail go through iCloud? That might be something
    I could use.

  • Sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them,

    sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them, that my Iphone or receiving 5 supports 4G LTE,
    Thank you for your attention

    Apple needs to test the carrier if they offer LTE as expected.
    If your country/carrier is not on the list then there's no LTE on your iPhone.

    It's between the your carrier and Apple. There's nothing you can do except feedback to Apple:

  • My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now  I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them.  They may let you redownload it at no cost.

  • I am using a Palm Pilot still for several purposes, and the desktop version can run om my Mac OS X 10.6.8, but I cannot find a version that runs on OS X Mavericks, which prevents me from upgrading as my PalmPilot is storage for vital info.

    I am using a Palm Pilot still for several purposes, and the desktop version can run om my Mac OS X 10.6.8, but I cannot find a version thjat runs on OS X Mavericks, which prevents me from upgrading as my PalmPilot is storage for vital info. Any solution?

    Thank for for your suggestions. Unfortunately they are of little help. I am running on Snow Leopard and the PalmDesktop works fine. However, I do not want to quit my PalmTungsten unit as it is my backup for all my important access information. If it cannot run on Mavericks and no other solution is at hand, I simply will not update my OS X, but work on my Snow Leopard as it is.
    I do not know how on earth I can migrate the information from my Palm into another system, and then quit the PalmPilot. If you have any intelligent solutions to this I would appreciate an input. A manual copy and paste solution is not acceptable. I may however run it on Windows via Parallel Desktop, but it is a lousy solution, and demonstrates (again) the weakness of Apple's OS and lack of compatibility. I am not impressed by the OS X performance.
    Thank your for your attention.

    Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder that contains your catalog it's probably located in Pictures\Lightroom. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and its contents, then start Lightroom again. And new previews folder will be created automatically, and you should be able to start using Lightroom normally.

    You can write to Apple with the serial number and they can tell you exactly when your MacPro (as opposed to Mac Book Pro) was manufactured.
    And in the Apple menu > about this Mac >  more info > there should be sufficient detail to narrow it down.

    I am getting the following error when I try to initiate a Lync meeting from Outlook 2010.  This used to work when I used a Lync 2010 client.  I am testing Lync Server 2013 and just installed a Lync 2013 client.  Everything else seems to be
    working fine.  I am signed into Lync.

  • Lync 2013 Frequent Contacts not showing in Outlook 2010 on RDS

    Running Outlook 2010 along with Lync 2013.
    On a Windows 7 PC if I launch Outlook first, then launch Lync. The frequent contacts will appear on the To-Do bar after "refreshing outlook" (minimizing and maximizing or changing folders.
    If I do the same thing on a Windows 2008 R2 RDS machine the Frequent contacts never appear. I have to close down Outlook and reopen Outlook for them to appear.
    Does anyone have any detail information about how the integration between Outlook and Lync works to bring through these contacts?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I test the issue on Windows Server 2008 R2 and I found the frequent contacts appeared on the To-Do bar if I opened Outlook 2010 firstly and then opened Lync 2013 client.
    So please make sure Outlook 2010 and Lync 2013 client to the latest version and then test again.
