Outlook 2010 hangs when selecting a meeting invite

Sometimes when the users click on a meeting invite from a user from a different company (Full Trust between domains)Outlook shows the
"Searching for this meeting..." message and hangs. According to Microsoft this is just checking the conflicting appointments and this message should disappear after few seconds but it does not. The only way to recover outlook is to
end the outlook.exe task from the task manager. I have tried creating new outlook profile, new ost file or even a different computer but the issue remains. Can't find any solution on the net. Any help will be appreciated.
The email account is configured to use an Exchange server... and the computer is connected to a domain. The email is coming from a company which has full trust with our company's domain.

Hi,
Does this issue occur on OWA?
If not, I would suggest we use the process monitor to see where does Outlook hung when opening the meeting request.

Outlook 2010 hangs when loading in "processing"

After upgrading from Windows 7 home to ultimate I am having problems with Outlook 2010. When staring the program hanks up on "processing"
Any idea what I can do to resolve this problem?
Pheresisman

Hi,
First, I suggest you try to start Outlook 2010 in safe mode [hold ctrl key while startup] to see if this issue is caused by some add-ins.
If it works fine in this situation, try to disable add-ins.
Click the File menu –> Options link –> Navigate to Add-Ins options.
Select
Disabled Items in the Manage dropdown and click the
Go button. This would display the following Disabled Items window using which you can see and also
re-enable the disabled add-in. You can select the ones you wish to re-enable and click the Enable button.
Second, ensure Outlook 2010 are not running in compatibility mode,
Locate C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 Outlook.exe
Right-click
Outlook.exe, and then click Properties.
On the
Compatibility tab, click to clear the Run this program in compatibility mode for check box.
Click
OK and try to start Outlook again.
Hope that helps.

Outlook 2010 hangs when opening older calendar items

Hi,I have a really odd issue.One user has a bit of a vague issue - where Outlook 2010 (32 bit, on Windows 7 64) freezes up (not responding) when user is trying to open a calendar item he has created himself in a group calendar also created by himself.So, a quick google search finds, besides a lot of advertised non working items, in general tips like "check mailbox size" (User is at 70% of allowed size, where allowed size is a mailbox of 1GB)Or, run outlook in safe mode to see if any add in or plug in causes this. Sadly - in safe mode exactly the same happens - Outlook stops responding.No other user has the same "owner" rights on this calendar, so it`s hard to reproduce.And now for the really odd one - any item listed before June 1st (2015) causes the issue. Any item from June 1 and onwards opens as it should.I have difficulties wading...

Hi JW_IC,
Does this issue occur OWA?
If OWA not hangs, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
I found that you have done all operations on the Outlook client side and still not worked.
How about following the error message, "To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel",
to check the problem in the Action Center control panel. Please paste the details without sensitive information for the further troubleshooting.
I suggest updating Outlook 2010 to the latest version for test.

Outlook 2010 hangs when opening emails from a certain sender

I have a problem when we a receive a notification email from a certain sender. The email is actually from an internal address within the company. We receive email notifications when we receive a voice mail on our phone system and that email
is what is causing the problems. The email we receive is very basic and just has a small amount of text saying "IP Office Voicemail redirected message". When I try to open the email (or view when the reading pane is enabled) it hang Outlook
for about 20-30 seconds. This happens with every notification email we receive from that address. I tried locking up Outlook when it was hanging to see if I could get any error messages. In Event Viewer I got this:
"The program OUTLOOK.EXE version 14.0.7113.5000 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel."
Things I have tried:
Clean install (of both Office and Windows)
Removing and recreating the Outlook profile
Setting Outlook to "Read all standard mail in plain text"
Updating Windows/Office
Setting our voice mail server to send from a different email address
Opening Outlook in safe mode
We are on a domain with Exchange. This started happening a couple of months ago.
Any ideas as to what I can try next?
Thanks.

Is there a way to automatically update events in the Outlook 2010 calendar when adding events in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010?

I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. I have synced my Outlook calendar with my iPhone using the iCloud Control Panel. This is great, but when I add an event in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010 and subsequently send out invitations to the event, I get the following error:
"This meeting is not in the Calendar folder for this account. Responses to this meeting will not be tallied. Do you want to send anyway?"
I select "Yes" and the invite goes out. However, when invitees receive the email invitation, there should be 2 emails - one from Outlook and one from iCloud. The iCloud invite does not always come through. If the invitee responds to the Outlook email invite, it does not show up on the iCloud Calendar.
Is there a reason that the iCloud email is not always sent or is there a way to some how update the Windows Outlook Calendar when adding events in the iCloud Calendar through Outlook?

I have just discovered this problem as well.
Very annoying!
Now all off my meetings entered in Outlook on my desktop PC are not syncing with my ipad and iphone.
If I had known this would have happened I would never have downloaded Version 2.0 of the icloud control panel.
Does anyone know how I can get the earlier version back?

Word 2010 hangs when adding a contact via the Envelopes and Labels dialog box

I am having the following issue on all PC in our network.
Open Outlook.
Open Word 2010.
Click the Mailings tab.
Click Envelopes.
Click the Address Book button.
From the Address Book drop-down select the Contacts folder.
Right click in the list & select New Entry.
Select New Contact & click OK.
Fill in the basic info: name, email, phone numbers, address.
Click Save & Close.
At that point the contact form closes. It looks like the address book list is trying to come back but that is where it hangs. At that point the only option is to force Word to close. However, the new contact is created in Outlook.
I can reproduce this with Word/Outlook 2010 RTM & SP1.
Has anyone else ran into this before?

Outlook 2010, new proposed time on meeting not acceptable, buttons grayed out.

Outlook 2010 clients on domain w/ Exchange 2010. A meeting is scheduled by an organizer, the meeting is read by a client and the client requests a new proposed time. Once the organizer gets the new proposed time the accept new proposal and view
all proposals is grayed out. the request response and allow new time proposals is checked, also under calendar options tentative is selected on use this response when proposing new time.
The weird thing is this only happens with a few people and not everyone. I sent a meeting request to a client and she responded with a new time and i couldnt accept, i then had this same client send a request to another client and it worked fine on
the accept new time. Ive played out multiple scenarios testing with different people and i cant seem to find any info on this issue. why??????
Steve Hughes

Hi,
Which version of Outlook do those users who encountered this issue use? Can you switch to another computer and then try to reproduce this issue again?
Did those users choose "Tentative and Propose a New Time" or "Decline and Propose a New Time"?
Seems this issue is more related to the recipient side, I'd like to know if it's possible to have some test with one of the recipient who has this problem.
Please feel free to post back and provide more information.

Outlook 2010 crashing when closing program

I'm using Windows 8 64bit, but using MS office as 32 bit. Since installing LeanPrint 32bit, every time I close out Outlook it crashes and tells me to uninstall this program; then Outlook restarts and then I can close down properly. Please advise what I may do to correct this.
So far I don't have problems when using LeanPrint in my other MS programs or Adobe reader.
Thanks

To get the patch, please follow below steps:
1) Go to Windows Start button -> All programs -> Adobe LeanPrint -> My Savings
2) On top right, click on Settings icon -> Check for Updates...
3) It should download the latest update for you. Install that latest version. In case you already have the latest version, it will say no update available.

Crystal 2008 not working with outlook 2010 mapi when exporting

I recently had service pack 3 and fix pack 3.3 updated to my system ( crystal 2008) to help correct a issue with mapi not populating addresses from outlook when trying to export a report. I have a new issue. - sort of???
Now when I try to export multiple reports in a row I still have the same issue. I can send 1 report out. But if i try to send another report out i have the same issue that I had with mapi not populating the addresses field from outlook.
To get past this I shut down crystal and then bring it back up and I can send (ONE) report again before the same thing happens. Does anyone know if there is fix for this issue?
Fyi - this has nothing to do with the design of my report. The problem lies with how Crystal is communicating with mapi when trying to allowi a 2nd report to be exported. I am not using any outside programs, only crystal 2008 version and trying to export my report through mapi (outlook 2010 (in PDF format). As stated above with the above fixpack - I was able to restore exporting but now I can only export 1 report at a time.
When I select a 2nd report to export (after just sending out my 1st) the mapi function will not allow me to select addresses. So while the fix pack (from the website) restored some functionality it only allows 1 report at a time.

Hi Max,
It works for me. I get the Allow for 1 minute box and then I export again and same thing.... works...
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit at home. It just installed SP 1 so that may be the difference also but I don't recall this being a problem before.
I also don't see this being a CR problem, if it works once then something else is blocking the MAPI permission box. Check your anti-virus logs, could be it things a trojan is taking over your address book and blocking the second attempt. The AV logs should show you if something was blocked. Or disconnect from your network/disable network cards and disable your AV and test again.
Do you have any other tool that allows you to export? If you install Winzip or WinRAR it adds a feature that allows you to right click on any file, save the PDF to disk and then test using the zip tool to see if that works for you. If not it's definitely your AV or possibly Firewall software blocking the pop up.
Thanks again
Don

Outlook 2007 hangs when Calendar tab is clicked

I am using Windows Vista on a Sony Notebook with Outlook 2007 SP1 connected to exchange server 2003. I had a problem that my outlook worked fine except for one thing: it hanged whenever I clicked on the calendar tab. I then had to restart my outlook, there was no other way out of the problem.
Investigating the problem it occurred that when I clicked on individual dates on the calendar displayed on the front screen, the calendar did display EXCEPT when TODAY was selected. Any other date worked fine except the current date. This was true for any date, in such a manner that today would freeze up, but on the next day the same date (which was then yesterday) did not hang anymore.
After a long while I accidentally found the solution to this problem. You will notice when the calendar is displayed in the default calendar view (month/week/day with preview), at the bottom of the screen there is also a part where today's tasks are displayed. I edited the view and removed the display of tasks in the calendar screen, and suddenly the calendar did not hang anymore. It appeared that some item amongst the tasks caused the crash, but when the tasks are displayed in the task tab, Outlook does not hang.
So, if your Outlook 2007 hangs whenever you click on the calendar tab, edit your calendar view and disable the display of the task/todo list in the calendar view. This might solve your problem like it did for me.

If I could only get to the Calendar tab to check the settings again I would. But Outlook is hanging CONSTANTLY. I haven't been able to exit the application normally in more than 10 days - it's always via Task Manager after an application hang. This happened all the sudden - literally - in the last 10 days. I haven't changed anything but I do have automatic updates - wondering if there's something in one of the latest that is causing this? here's the text I pulled from the details:

I'm also having this same problem after trying everything in this thread! Am also using Windows 7 RC 64-Bit and Office 2007 SP1. Problem only started happening about 5 days ago, and it is driving me insane! I've done everything suggested and the problem remains - even after reinstalling the OS!
Please fix your broken software, Microsoft. I'm seriously considering moving to Thunderbird or something - anything - that works.

When accepting a meeting invitation, I get a completely different meeting

Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.1)
When I try to accept a meeting invitation, it gives me a meeting from over a year ago to accept. This meeting has nothing at all to do with the current meeting or event, yet I constantly get it no matter which invite I open and accept. It is infuriating. I've deactivated the iCloud. I've deleted all my calendars and put in new calendars. No luck. I get the same two meetings randomly when I accept an invite. Doesn't matter if I've already accepted one of the two meetings, those are my only choices.
I have searched and searched and found nothing.
Please help! My calendar is useless. I may as well go back to stone tablets at this rate. ;-)

I would love a solution, too. This issue came up as soon as I updated to the mobileme beta in october. First, all my "on my mac" calendars were deleted with years of needed historical data. Luckily I restored them via Time Machine backup. Then I talked in depth to multiple levels of AppleCare support and they were beyond perplexed. Any calendar invites I receive into iCal will automatically go into the first "on my mac" calendar, and cannot be moved to the mobileme calendars. The only bad solution is to "duplicate" the calendar event, and then move it to whatever calendar you want. Then delete the original event. Unfortunately, even if you select "delete and don't notify" the original event sender will receive a notification. I've also had problems with calendar invites in ical I accepted into mobileme syncing to my iphone and ipad in a format that does not allow me to edit.

Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2010 hangs if deleted shared mailbox exists into profile

Environment - Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2010 published via Citrix
We recently did the cleanup of shared mailboxes which are no longer needed. However post our activity we found that many users are reporting that their Outlook is hanging for a long time during startup and it continues while working on outlook. Upon investigation
we found that their Outlook profile was having 1 or 2 shared mailboxes listed which were deleted from organization. As soon these shared mailboxes were removed from profile the Outlook started working fine.
Is this know issue of Outlook and if any hotfix available for same, I have already checked the 'download shared folder' option which isn't selected.

Hi,
Maybe the issue is related to the default behavior in Outlook.

Outlook 2010 multiple item select problem

Hi,
I have a maddening issue with Outlook 2010. It has to do with a feature that has always worked 100% issue free in older versions of Outlook.
Outlook is somehow losing its mind where it comes to range selections. Specifically, there are 2 issues, with steps to reproduce.
Issue 1:
step 1) select a message
step 2) scroll down in the inbox, and shift-select a message 30 lines down (note: any number, not just 30, will do)
step 3) right click on the range, and select "Mark as read" (note: any other right-click action will do as well)
note: Upon completion of step 3, the range selection is lost inside of the inbox user interface.
step 4) to regain the view of the selected range, press and hold the shift key and then arrow up then back down
note: Upon completion of step 4, the entire range of 30 messages is shown as selected once more
Issue 2:
step 1) select a message
step 2) scroll up in the inbox, and shift-select a message 30 lines above (note: any number, not just 30, will do)
step 3) right click on the range, and select "Mark as read" (note: any other right-click action will do as well)
Upon completion of step 3, the range selection is lost inside of the inbox user interface.
step 4) to regain the view of the selected range, press and hold the shift key and then arrow up then back down
note: Upon completion of step 4, the entire range of 30 messages is NOT shown as selected; rather, only the number of messages that fit in the inbox view that were part of the selection are shown as highlighted. ie, if only 10 of the 30 fit in the
current view, only the 10 are shown as selected.
This is maddening, as it does not happen every single time.
Workarounds I have tried that did not solve the issue:
1) Update all BIOS and driver settings to the latest editions
2) Replace the mouse
3) Turn off the preview pane
4) Deleted the existing Outlook profile, and then created a new one
Please advise, this is an infuriating issue, which never occurred with older editions of MS Outlook!

Hello,
I tried your steps, but I cannot reproduce step 3. The selection didn't lost when I right clicked on the range and selected "Mark as read".
Please try to open Outlook in safe mode to check if the problem persists. To open Outlook in safe mode, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /safe and press Enter.

In outlook 2010 can you change the meeting organizer?

I need to subsitute a co-worker as the organizer of a meeting setup in Outlook 2010. Can/How do I do that?

Hi Brenda,
James is right.
We are unable to change the meeting organizer, unless delete the meeting request, and let the new organizer send the meeting request again.
Thanks,
Evan
