Warning: If you don't care about Microsoft related crap, ignore this post.
I've learned a couple of methods to start MS Outlook in safe mode:
1. Hold down the Ctrl key when starting MS Outlook until it starts. It will display (Safe Mode) in the title bar.
2. In the Run window type outlook /safe. (How do you get to the Run window? Window key + r or Start>Programs>Accessories>Run.)
Q: Why would someone want to run Outlook in safe mode?
A: If you find it unreliable, this will start it without add ins that seem to be a common cause of Outlook's instability.
Wouldn't it just be Start->Run? Outlook is woeful, I pity anyone who has to use it.
ReplyDeleteMy version of Vista does not have a Run command at the start menu, so I navigated through the long, tortured path. The Window key + r is pretty useful too. I accept the possibility that my version is configured strangely (by me) and does not reflect what others see in their version of Vista.
ReplyDeleteI use Outlook, because our company relies heavily on the calendar and Contacts. I haven't looked thoroughly for a replacement, but the two I've tried do not do the job.
Oh Vista, my mistake then (probably). You're a glutton for punishment!
