=== Command Line Switches === Hold down the Windows Key and Press R to get the "run dialog" where you can launch Outlook using a command with switches (things you type after the command.)

To do that just press and hold the CTRL key on your keyboard while you click the icon to start Outlook. If the problem doesn't appear when you're running in Safe Mode then it's probably a misbehaving add-in that's causing the issue.

To use a command line switch just exit Outlook (if it's already running) and then click Start | Run. In the Run dialog box that appears type "Outlook" followed by a space and then the switch you want to use. For example: Outlook /cleanreminders Here are a few of the particularly useful command line switches you might want to use: # Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next. # Select the Microsoft Exchange Server account, and then click Change.# Clear the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box.# Click More Settings.# Click the Advanced tab.# Click Offline Folder File Settings.# Click Disable Offline Use, and then click Yes in the dialog box that appears.# Click Offline Folder File Settings.# Click Browse, go to the location where you want to save your .ost file, and then click Open.# Click OK.# Select the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box.# Click Next, and then click Finish.
