I have Outlook 32bit on Windows XP connected to our corporate Exchange server, always worked well until a few days ago when it exhibited the following behaviour:
- When launching, the splash screen shows for a few seconds
- At the "Loading Profile..." step displayed in the splash screen, Outlook exists; no error is displayed
- No errors are reported in the event logs
- When launching Outlook again, I'm prompted to start it in Safe Mode as "Outlook did not start correctly last time"
- Safe Mode works fine, all emails and PST folders are loaded without any issue and exchange connection also works
- Disabling all COM add-ins from Safe Mode and restarting does nothing, Outlook still crashes with no error at the same point during startup
Any idea what could be causing this?
