Outlook 2013: Memory smudge, or screen rendering problems due to laggy?

Hi,
I am observing a strange occurrence among some of my users with Outlook 2013. When they open a few new emails, whether they minimize or switch to another emails to read, there is some portion of the previous emails left behind. It is like a digital
smudge of the previous screen left hanging there. It will go off after awhile
This guy has the same issue as me:

I don't have a screenshot yet, but I was wondering
if this is due to lack of memory.
Thanks.

The answer given in the link you referenced is the most likely solution to your issue as it is often caused by the graphics card driver.
Make sure you have the latest driver installed and if that doesn't solve it, disable the hardware graphics acceleration.

Outlook 2013 stuck at splash screen even on safe mode

I was trying to add in an IMAP account to my Outlook 2013, when it hanged, so I forced-stop it via Task Manager and tried to restart the application. But right now, it's forever stuck at "Loading Profile" the splash screen. I tried to restart it
in safe mode too, but experiencing the same problem.
Help?

Hi altern4te,
First, perform a clean boot to find out about programs which are interrupting the Outlook. So, you will accurately understand the cause of this hang up.
It can be antivirus programs or something else.
For more about clean boot in Windows:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796
Note:
As you are not able to open Outlook in safe mode, you cannot disable the add-ins which generally cause behind such types of disturbance.
Hopefully clean boot method will solve it, otherwise this can happen due to corrupt Outlook Data File or Outlook profile.
To fix corruption and its issue:

Outlook 2013 sending replies stuck in outbox problems

I have Outlook 2013 with a maddening problem! Please keep in mind that any solutions you may have should be answered so that
mildly tech savvy such as myself can understand. The problem mostly happens when I'm replying to an email but sometimes with a fresh email. When I hit send the email just stays stuck in my outbox and I get an error message 0x800ccc0F.
I'll open up the stuck email and hit send again and nothing still stays stuck. I spent a long time chatting with MS tech support and he had me uncheck/disable all of my add ins and all my emails sent! Great! Next day without making any changes I was back
to the same problem, then later they would send fine, a day later same problem - you get the picture for the last few weeks. Rechecking and unchecking the add-ins or restarting outlook or my computer sometimes helps but the problem persists. One interesting
note while on tech support I was replying to my own test emails to myself and they were staying stuck in my outbox, but also showing up in my inbox and not showing up in my sent mail folder -WTH??? Lastly I use Go-daddy SMTP email and did tech support
with them to check all of my outgoing settings and even tried some alternate settings which made no difference. Please help as I use Outlook for work all day and have spent countless hours trying to figure this out.

Hi,
Please use your webmail to check whether the email stuck in your Outbox or Draft folder. If the issue only happens in Outlook, please disable all anti-spam or any related mail programs to have a try. Also try to create a new Outlook profile:

If it doesn't work, please change a computer to configure your email account in Outlook to check whether the issue persists.

AE Rendering Problem due to format constraints

Okay so i make my first complete video in Ae(its an introduction). I'm really happy and i am all like lalalal lets render this **** and brag to everyone i know about what a hardcore Ae user i am, when adobe Renders my video of 8 sec to about 1.2 GB and i am all like wait that's not right and i start googling and apparently many people face this problem and it can easily be solved by compressing your video further by setting your Video codec to DV NTSC, DV PAL or DV(24p Advanced). I go ahead and change the video codec and BAM "Setting Mismatch". It shows that all of these codecs run at 720x480 Max whereas my original project i was working on was set at 1920x1080. If i still continue with this and Render My audio doesn't synchronize and is a few seconds behind that where it should originally be. This is because 1920x1080 runs at 30 fps whereas 720x480 runs at 25. If someone with knowledge about this problem could help me out i would be indebted to you.
All right guys its my first time on this forum and i might sound like a noob asking this question, but googling it did not give me any clear results.
Thanks in Advance
A fellow Ae User

You don't want to be using standard definition codecs, you want to be using the Adobe Media Encoder to render your files to h.264 using a standard HD preset. Check out the third video here: Basic Workflow

Outlook 2013 will not open correctly

So I have just installed Office 2013 on a new install of Windows 7 as part of some evaluation work, my issue is when I open Outlook 2013, I get one, sometimes two blank windows with the title WORD either infront or sometimes behind the outlook window, and
outlook doesn't display the preview of the email correctly. I have tried a repair option but that didn't help.
I also looked in task manager and sure enough along with Outlook there are two instances of word, these all close if I exit outlook
What I have found is if I have outlook full screen, the two word windows open infront of the outlook GUI, I can hit the X to close those and then I see outlook but the preview screen is not working, I have to open the email to see the body. If I put outlook
in window mode (not max full screen) the two outlook windows open behind and I do get the preview screen and can not close them with the x button...

HI
I have the same issue with Office 2013 Outlook 2013, but with W8, Outlook crasjes after starting upp.(Same problem with Lync 2013)
After investigating, I found out that the driver to Matrox M9138, the WDM one, was causing this. I found out, if I used the std driver in win8, Outlook worked. A soon as I uppdated to 4.03.00.147
WDDM NoWHQL W8 Beta, Outlook 2013 krasjet.
Without the Matrox 4.03 xxx drivers, I can't use the 2 other screens, so this is not a option.
It seems that its not the power desk app that is the issue, but the drivers....
Not sure if this is something that must be solved in the Matrox driver, or Outlook 2013.
My solution for this problem, was to dropp Office 2013, and for 2010.....
I hope this helps you guys to find a solution to this problem.....
I just came aware of that, the Matrox driver is in Beta... maybe the will solve this the next driver(been waiting since dec 2012)

Exchange Outlook 2013 freezes when deleting shared calendar for employees who have been removed

Hi,
I am removing users' shared calendars from my outlook 2013 in exchange environment. The problem is, that the shared calendars belong to users who have left the company and have been removed from the domain, this is causing outlook to freeze because i think
it's trying to find the entry then delete it, rather than delete it.
There is no problem deleting a shared calendar for an user who still is in the domain. This seems to be strictly affecting users who have left the domain.

Hi,
Generally, if the shared calendar owner is removed from the Exchange environment, the shared calendar which was added before should be removed from Outlook client normally.
Please use Outlook with Exchange cached mode, and make sure the shared calendar was not added in Advanced tab in Account Settings. Please start Outlook in safe mode and remove the shared calendar to have a try.
If the issue doesn’t happen in safe mode, please disable the third-party add-ins one by one to find out the cause.

Outlook 2013 wont send SMS texts

Hi All
I've used Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 for a few years on my SBS2011 system to send/receive SMS texts fine through exchange 2010 to my Samsung S3 and out. I've now updated to Windows 8 and Outlook 2013 and have come across a problem.
If I type in a new SMS message in Outlook 2013 and press send I get an immediate box pop up saying 'Check names' Microsoft Outlook does not recognise '<mobile number>'. There is nothing I can do to remove the box so I can't send. I've turned off the
'check names' option in Outlook to no avail. If I reply to a new incoming text it works fine, but it wont send any new ones..... does anyone have any words of wisdom as to why it seems to be looking to marry up mobile numbers, which should be able to be entered
randomly and manually?
I've tried adding numbers to a contact to no avail, as have enclosed the number in square brackets and added the international code +44..... also to no avail....

But i found an answer that seems to work! Thank you, AT&T!
Re: how to send text message to Cell phone via computer
You need to know the recipient phone's carrier.
If you were texting AT&T phones: 10digitphonenumber at att.net
There is more information if you Google "att send text from computer", but this forum won't let me post links... :)

Having screen rendering / memory problems with Microsoft Outlook 2013 and full screen mode with large 2560x1440 dual monitors

MS Outlook 2013 seems to work fine for a while until a) enough time passes or b) I have multiple MS Outlook windows open. Then I start to see all sorts of graphical issues ranging from certain parts of the outlook window not rendering to certain functions
locking etc. Occassionally, when I decrease from full screen I get the screens to render correctly, making me think there's something unique with full screen mode that is causing the issue. There seems to me to be quite a bit of memory issues
with this version.
I have a beast of a graphics card, 32gb of RAM, and a fast SSD, so don't think its the machine.
Thoughts?

Hi,
Does this happen to other applications?
If it's specific to Outlook, consider to check the hardware acceleration option:
Go to FILE tab -> Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Disable hardware graphics acceleration, turn this option on or off to check the result.
If the issue persists, please also consider whether any 3rd-party add-ins are interfering with Outlook, we can start Outlook in Safe Mode:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If there's no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which caused the problem.

Problem using the e-mail button in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 with Outlook 2013

I just switched my e-mail application from Mozilla Thunderbird to Outlook 2013.
I have always been able to click the e-mail button in Acrobat 7.1.0 to open a blank e-mail message with the PDF file attached.
I keep getting an error now that I have Outlook 2013.
It says "You need to create a Microsoft Outlook profile. In Microsoft Windows, go to the Control Panel and open Mail. Click Show Profiles, and then click Add"
Then, when I click on the OK button it says "Acrobat is unable to log in to your email application. Please check your account settings and try again."
I have checked and I have one profile in Control Panel called Outlook. Outlook is set as my default e-mail program.
I tried using a 3rd party PDF reader (Foxit Reader) and the e-mail button works as expected (opens a new message with the PDF attached).
I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit with Outlook 2013 32-bit (this was what was recommended by Microsoft on the Office download site).
I would appreciate help anyone can provide to fix this problem.
Thank you.

It may be a similar issue, but not the same issue. This is not the Reader forum, but if you are worried about the compatibility it is a simple matter to upgrade your Reader to AR XI. The original post had to do with a cost product, not the free Reader.
For AA7, the PDF Maker of AA7 is not compatible with Outlook 2013 as suggested. You should still be able to open most PDFs, but to create a PDF from Outlook you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or upgrade to AA XI.

HP Laserjet CM2320 MFP driver problem with Outlook 2013

Hi,
The problem starts when you want to print from Outlook 2013 ( Office365 flavour ).
You can print once. Then Outlook and the printspooler crashes.
In the print qu you find pages NA and no kb for the printvolume.
Impossible to delete the printjob normaly.
Only reboot helps to recover printing possibilitys with the exception of Outlook 2013.
After consulting HP, we tried to prin with PCL 6 an Post Script drivers with changed, advanced, settings.
This does not help.
More then one PC faces this problem.
Do you have an idea to fix this ?
Best regards
Paul

Hi Paul,
It might be that the 'OutlPrnt' is corrupted on your computer. This is the file where Outlook keeps its printing style settings.
Please try to recover from this by renaming the OutlPrnt file to .old when Outlook is closed and verify the results. You can find the file in %Appdata%/microsoft/outlook.
Thanks,

Outlook 2013 something went wrong sorry we ran into a problem

my outlook started hanging and causing problems a few days ago where sent messages were sitting in outbox without sending. and when you closed and reopened outlook the messages has vanished completely without sending. I'm unable to get outlook
to open. I keep getting the message something went wrong sorry we ran into a problem. All other office 2013 programs will function correctly. I have also tried to open the control panel/mail (outlook 2013) (32 bit) icon, but this pauses
for a while and then brings up no window to configure an account. I managed to get my exchange account set up in the mail app but I'm not interested in using the mail app when i should be able to utilize all the functionality of outlook.
I have spent a couple days reading all the posts and tried uninstalling office 2013 pro and the mail app thinking i'd clean install the 64-bit version of office but to no avail. Looks like the preloaded office 13 cannot be uninstalled, so I then
downloaded the O15CTRRemove tool which worked in removing office 2013, but did not fix the problem of outlook not opening. This is driving me crazy and I have tried many suggestions from the online forums, and have got outlook to open a couple of times where
it was then asking for a product key, and when the key was entered outlook would close straight away and not allow it to open again. I have tried running the repair tool many times, and this does not work. Every other program I have had zero issues with; autocad,
adobe suite, everything runs perfect. I just want to get my outlook all set up.Please advise!

Hi,
Please check whether you can send message in OWA. If there is no issue in OWA, it should be an Outlook issue. It seems that there is just one user encontered this issue in your environment. If so, please start Outlook in safe mode by using "Outlook /safe"
in Run windows to check whether the issue persists. If it fails, please change a computer to try again.

Outlook 2013 IMAP E-Mail Sync Problems

I'm using Outlook 2013 and have run into a few problems. First, when checking my email, not all messages appear in my Inbox. Comparing the inboxes of the desktop Outlook client and the online web access of my personal account (not Outlook.com),
I can see a few dozen emails from over the past week that have not been synced. I cannot sense a pattern as to why some have been downloaded and some haven't (some have been read and some unread, none flagged or otherwise altered) but it's quite frustrating
to not be able to rely on something as straightforward as checking email. I have used this email account for over 10 years and past versions of Outlook without any problems.
Furthermore, whenever I start Outlook I have to switch folders from Inbox to another and back again before the 'Inbox synchronization' begins. If I do not change folders, Outlook runs a Send/Receive but doesn't alter the messages, just leaving the Inbox
as it was last time I opened the program. Granted I only have to click to any folder and back to the Inbox to get it working, but it's yet another issue I'm having with a brand new program.
Please let me know if there are any work arounds or known bugs but I'd prefer not to try any actions that will only address past problems and not future ones (e.g. solutions proposed like 'delete account and recreate' sound to me like it would only do a
re-sync now but not affect any future errors). I appreciate your input and effort to help me address this. Also, please don't hesitate to ask for more information (server name, settings, etc.).

Hi,
For both issues, please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
We may also try repairing Office in Control Panel to check the result.
Since a new profile always helps many users, we suggest you can have a try:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
If you use an IMAP account on Outlook, you don't have to worry about the loss of data since it will sync automatically from the server and create a new data file.
I hope the information is helpful.

Office 365/Outlook 2013 Shared Mailbox Sent Items Problem

I've only been able to find an answer for this problem for Outlook 2010, and that doesn't work for 2013.
I'm trying to make the sent items for a shared mailbox save to the sent items of that mailbox, not my mailbox. I got the deleted items to finally work, I just need to get the sent items to work now.
I've read about this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options\Conversations
But I don't have the conversations folder, should I make it?
I've also seen this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Preferences\DelegateSentItemsStyle
But that doesn't seem to work with Office 2013.
Any ideas?
Thanks

We have the same problem with a client. We are using Office 365 with Outlook 2013 on a RDS Windows Server 2012 R2. I can't find the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences
folder in the registry. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ is as far as it gets.
Even when we sent from the Office 365 online mailbox and fill in the from address, the sent mail is stored in the sent items folder from the user instead of the shared mailbox.
I've searched everywhere for a solution, but I haven't found one yet.
Regards,
Steve
If a key does not exist, you need to add it - Outlook doesn't create keys it's not using. :)
