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)

Outlook 2013 will not connect to specific networks outside the office

Outlook 2013. I can connect to any Wi-Fi network I have attempted...but Outlook 2013 will not connect to my home network. I have tried clearing the dns cache as well as re-creating the account. Outlook works fine at the office, fine at
hotels, fine at restaurants, but won't connect at my house using either a wired or Wi-Fi connection.
Any suggestions?

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to connect the Outlook 2013 from outside the office, please follow these steps: -
This is usually the result of authentication issues. In order to prevent strangers from using their
SMTP server to send spam, many ISPs require users to authenticate when they try to send email while accessing the server from outside the network. In many cases, users will also need to use a different
port number and may need to use SSL.
To check or change the outgoing server authentication, you need to open the
Account setting dialog. In Outlook 2013, this is on the
File tab.
Click on the email account, then click the
More Settings dialog and select the Outgoing server tab to check the authentication settings.
Enable
My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and select
Use the same settings as my incoming mail server. These settings will often work both at home and when travelling.
You will also want to check the port and
SSL settings on the Advanced tab. Commonly used port number are
587, 465, and 1025 but if these don’t work, you will need to check your mail providers support pages for the correct port number. You may also need to select
SSL or Auto for encrypted connections, again, this information should be on your mail providers support website.
Note: - Once you make these changes, you should be able to send email from home.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Outlook 2013 will not start up

Outlook 2013 Will not start. Get the following message:
"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened."
We have Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium edition. We are using an exchange server for email. We have confirmed that the email has been set up correctly and we do know that Microsoft was able to fix it once. After they left the remote
session, we shut down Outlook and restarted it. We received the same error message as written above.
Microsoft did tell us it was an Outlook software issue.

Hi,
Please check if Outlook can start with the switch "/resetnavpane":
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /resetnavpane” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If this issue persists, we need to create a new profile to setup the account, then test if this issue still exists:

Outlook 2010 will not open

I have Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I've had issues with a problem in outlook where file was being generated in my PST folders everytime I opened outlook. I read where I should disable Norton Anti-Spam and it worked to allow me to delete the
folders and not get any new ones. I thought I should try uninstalling MS Office and reloading it. I used the Control Panel to remove the program but it only partially removed Office and stopped. I then used FixIt and removed more of Office and got most of
it but it stopped at the end too. I could not totally remove whatever remained of office but it looked like it was all gone. I also have Visio 2010 and Project 2010 and did not attempt removing those yet. When I tried to re-install office I got an error about
legacy groove SW that needed to be removed first. I couldn't find a way to do it. I then read I could do a custom install and install everything in office except SharePoint Workspace. I did that and it seemed to work. Everything worked except Outlook.
So then I added features to the suite by custom install of SharePoint Workspace only. All seemed to work. But Outlook still will not open. I get an error that states: Cannot open your default email folders. An unexpected error has occurred. MAPI was unable
to load the information service mspst.dll. Be sure the service is correctly installed and configured. I have Windows 7 Home Premium. What should I do?

Hi,
Go to C:\Windows\System32 and double click on Fixmapi.exe, it won't give you any message, just reboot computer and try again.
If this issue persists, create a new profile in Control Panel -> Mail to check the result:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
If this issue still persists, we need to uninstall Office completely, then re-install it.
Once you finished uninstalling Office, please also delete the following registry keys:

This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. please help

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. it stays on the opening screen and the message
shows up that I must update the mediathek. If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade
Does that mean, you are running iPhoto 9.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 Yosemite? Or are you using an older MacOS X? "New" iPhoto is relative and depends on your system.
If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?
Does "shut down" mean it crashes? Then post please the error log from the error panel here - copy and paste the report into your next answer (the first 50 lines should suffice)
Where is your iPhoto Library (Mediathek) stored? Have you moved it to an external drive, or is it still in your Pictures folder (the order "Bilder")?

My numbers tables will not open correctly on screen, the preview shows but when I open the table it only shows blank. When I print a copy it prints ok any solutions?

Publisher 2013 - will not open under DOMAIN user profile.

Publisher 2013 - will not open/launch under a normal user profile. mspub.exe shows in taskmanager then disappears. This is a Windows 7 machine.

Hi,
If we create a new Windows account on the computer and start Publisher with the new account. Does it work?
If so, we maybe consider recreating the user profile of the specified account.
If the issue persists with the new account, please repair the Office program and then try again.

My iphoto will not open correctly. All I get is the little wheel going around and around. What do I need to do to open my iphoto?

My iphoto will not open correctly. All I get is the little wheel going around and around. What do I need to do to fix this? I would like to be able to see my photos again.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Office 2013 Will not open documents in a shared folder but 2007 will.

Hi,
Recently we are testing office 2013 and have noticed a problem. When office attempts to open an Excel or Word document that is stored on a shared drive on the file server it will not open it. When you double click on the document, either word or
Excel, the appropriate Office app opens, but it opens on the start screen, i.e. the one with the templates displayed.
There are no error messages displayed , and it appears that the office app opens twice, i.e you see the splash screen with the app name on it two times in quick succession, however you cannot find two instances of the app open.
If you simply copy the document from the shared drive to the users desktop and then double click the file , the appropriate app opens and the file also opens without a problem.
Also if you go to a client machine with office 2007 loaded on it then the document on the shared drive opens without a problem at all.
The client machine with office 2013 is a Dell E7440 with windows 7 Pro 64bit.
Thanks in advance

I think its working now.
Here is what I had to do.
Delete Office from the machine once again, this time using the Microsoft tool to remove all remnants of the office software , then manually check the registry to see all the referenced keys had been removed.
Reboot.
Copy all the users data to another location on the same machine.
Delete the users profile.
Reboot.
Reload office using the link Dell sent me.
Reboot.
Log in as a domain admin and check that office would open the documents on the file share and it did.
Reboot.
Log in as the user who’s profile I had deleted so that the profile was recreated.
Attempt to open documents on the file share and it was successful.
Move most of the users data back to the users folder so that his system looked the same as before.
Reboot.
Try again to use office applications and open documents from the file share and it continued to function correctly.
Waited a day for the user to see how it went and it is still working now.
I have no idea what could have been causing this problem or why doing what I did above fixed it.
I hope the problem does not return.
Now we can move on with more testing to see its suitability to our field service engineers, remote connections and connections to our customer systems will be checked next.

Microsoft Outlook 2003 will not open after downloading BlackBerry Desktop

I just upgraded from a BB 8303e to the BB Tour 9630. When I downloaded BB Desktop manager to my computer the program required that I must download Microsoft.net Framework 2.0 SP1, I did that, and was able to bring over all current contacts and calendar. Once that was completed, I tried opening my Outlook, but received an error message stating that Outlook incurred an error. I have tried everything possible to correct but Outlook will not open. I reset my computer under system restore to a previous date which removed BB Desktop manager as well as the microsoft.net Framework 2.0 SP1, than Outlook would open as normal. So again downloaded BB Desktop manager and the required microsoft.net Framework 2.0 SP1 and again error messages came once again after I tried to open Outlook, so again I did system restore to a previous date so I could use Outlook.
Has anyone had this same problem, can anyone help me resolve this issue so I can use Outlook and BB Desktop manager?

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

Office 2013 will not open any applications

I am having a problem with a number of users complaining that Office 2013 applications will not open. I double click on the icon, or single click on the tile (Windows 8.1) nothing happens. Looking at the task manager the only thing related to the office
is the Office ClickToRun service is running.
The only thing I can do to get things working again is to do a full repair from the Programs and Features Control Panel Applet. I have tried the quick repair and numerous other things but nothing else works. I have let it go for many hours thinking it may
be installing something but still nothing happens.
Since I know how to fix it, the problem has a work around, however, since I am running a good number of workstations using 2013 this way I am afraid this is going to happen to more users (So far it is three users).
Please help, there must be a way to fix this instead of repairing every time it happens.

Hi,
Do you try to open Office with below methods?
Go to Office location folder to open Office suits.
Press Win+R>Enter winword.exe (or other)
If we can open them, please follow the KB and re-create the software shortcut in Windows 8.1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2820848/en-us

Then, restore the system back to the point when the Office app work fine.
As following, we can install these updates one by one to navigate which update cause this issue.

Outlook 2013 are not opening and showing pst files are not closed properly

Hi
Outlook 2007 has stopped working and showing close the program. Again,we re-started then outlook 2007 and it has opened and taken the backup of pst files in a separate hard drive.
The pst file was repaired in scanpst.exe and again i have tried to put the pst file back in outlook 2007.It was hanging and suddenly i have uninstalled 2007 and started installing outlook 2013.
2013 applications like word,excel,power point are opening and outlook 2013 are not able to open and showing pst files were not closed properly.
Again i have un-installed and re-installed the outlook 2013.still we are not able to open the outlook.
Need your support at the earliest to fix the issue.
Thanks

Hi,
What's the .pst file used for? Archive? Or you set up a POP3 account and want to import the emails from the .pst file?
Another question, you mentioned you installed Outlook 2013 and it didn't open either. Was this from the beginning right after you installed Outlook 2013, or after you did something such as create a new Profile, set up a new account and tried to import the
.pst file?
Kindly answer my questions so I can understand the situation better.
I've seen some of this issue caused by the anti-malware software, check your anti-malware software to see if it's trying to interfere with Outlook - things like real time email checking can sometimes cause these kinds of problems. To troubleshoot, we can
simply disable the anti-malware software temporarily to see the result.

Today ,i have faced an issue in outlook 2013.We are using an outlook 2013 as a POP account.When i try to open the outlook it is not opening.It is showing the message the location of the path is moved to DIFFERENT LOCATION/RENAME/DELETED
I tried to open the control panel to check whether the MS-office is uninstalled or not? But even control panel and other installed programs is not opening and responding.But i can able to open the hard drives of C path & D path folder without any

Pradeep.R

...Please let me clarify what type of back ground process was running at that time.
The same reply was informed to my Team Head and he is not accepting .
Hi Pradeep.R,
As per your description above, I think it's not an Outlook specific issue as you also observed that "even control panel and other installed programs is not opening and responding"
There is no way for us to know "what type of back ground process was running at that time". I would suggest you to check in the
Event Viewer and see if there is any log recorded during that time period. That's the only way to track down the issue I think.
If you would like us to help analyze the logs, you can send the log file to this email account:
[email protected] and inform us here (the email subject should be the link of this thread).
