Office Outlook 2007 crashing everytime

Hi

You do not say where you are downloading from or if you have paid for the download.

Genuine, licenced, MS Office Outlook is not available as a free download.

Either the source of your download is not a genuine, reputable one or there may be a corruption in the Office Outlook files installed on your computer causing an incomplete or corrupted download.

Start > Control Panel > (Add or Remove Programs) Programs > Uninstall a program > highlight MS Outlook > Remove all components of MS Outlook > Close > Restart computer > Download again (from a reputable source).

MS Outlook is no longer available as a download from Microsoft, see here:

If you insist on using Outlook 2007, you will probably have to buy the software, or pay to download it from a reputable site, such as:

If you want to download from Microsoft, it will have to be MS Outlook 2010 from here:

I hope this helps.

you might have to changr the user account

Hi,

Yes, but you will need to make sure if the version of Outlook that you have is comaptible to windows 7.
Officially only Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 are supported to run on Windows 7. This is similar to Windows Vista which also did not support earlier versions of Outlook. You can install a version prior to Outlook 2003 on Windows 7 though but there are several issues which you could encounter.
In addition to these version requirements, even with Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 there are several compatibility issues which you could encounter on Windows 7. The most critical of these issues have been taken care off in prior service pack releases. So before starting Outlook on Windows 7, make sure your first apply at least Service Pack 3 for Office 2003 and Service Pack 2 for Office 2007.


Hope this will help...Your response is very much appreciated...

although if you want an application for FREE that is on par with this , why not try "open office", not quite as good but very similar

In order to install any software, it is imperative to ensure that the computer in question meets or exceeds the minimum requirements.

Foremost, Microsoft Office Basic/Standard/Home & Student/Professional/Small Business/Professional Plus/Enterprise 2007 require a CD-ROM or DVD drive. Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 requires a DVD drive.

Microsoft Office Basic/Standard/Home & Student/Professional/Small Business/Professional Plus/Enterprise/Ultimate 2007 requires a system that has at least 500 MHz (since a Pentium III can range in speed from 450 MHz to 1.4GHz, it seems likely that you've met this specification); & at least 256 MB of RAM (your system's 512 MB meets this & is the minimum amount recommended for Outlook Instant Search).

However, you did not make mention of which service pack (1, 2, or 3) that is installed on your version of MS Windows XP (MS Office Basic/Standard/Home & Student/Professional/Small Business/Professional Plus/Enterprise/Ultimate 2007 requires at least SP2); nor did you mention how much free disk space is on your system. MS Office Basic/Standard/Home & Student 2007 requires at least 1.5 GB (MS Office Professional/Small Business/Professional Plus/Enterprise 2007 requires at least 2 GB of free disk space & MS Office Ultimate 2007 requires at least 3 GB of free disk space. Also, MS Office Basic/Standard/Home & Student/Professional/Small Business/Professional Plus/Enterprise 2007 requires an Internet browser comparable to at least Internet Explorer 6 (IE6).

By the way, OneNote Instant Search & OneNote Audio Search require a CPU of at least 2 GHz & at least 1 GB of RAM. 1 GB of RAM is also the minimum requirement for grammar & contextual spelling in Word. Business Contact Manager requires a CPU of at least 1 GHz & at least 512 MB of RAM. Since you did not mention your exact iteration of MS Win XP (Home/Professional/Professional 64-Bit), it is important to note that "Send to OneNote 2007" print driver, Internet Fax, & Groove Folder Synchronization are not available on 64-bit operating systems.

Furthermore, I do not find it reasonable to quote any more specifications such as those for MS Office Accounting products unless found necessary, besides such specs are readily available at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/2007-microsoft-office-release-system-requirements-HA010166865.aspx?CTT=1.

It is entirely possible that the cause of installation failure could be a faulty optical disk drive (CD/DVD/etc.) an invalid product key or perhaps an operating system (OS) which the installation deems to not be genuine.

You did the windows 7 upgrade?

if you do a backup and full instal[reformat] it will work,

Sometimes MS update has compatibility issue.Better no to install cause sometimes it can create a bug (Blue Screen Crash) to your system.Try to restore yor windows 7 to an earlier point and the error message gone.Also try to turn off your automatic update so that you can choose your update to be installed.

As an old Oulook user (for over 10 years), I ever recover my forgotten Outlook with this password recovery software though it's not freeware.

just restore your system and see

Perhaps this problem has many different ways of resolving. For example I've known some interesting tools for working out like issues, one of the most effective is the next - outlook pst repair.
