Outlook Error

I use Outlook for my email and I cannot open it since last night. I don't know what happened, but when I try to open it I just get a Message box that says:
Outlook has caused an error in OUTLLIB.DLL. Outlook will now close.
If you continue to get this error try restarting your computer.

I have restarted and shut down several times, and it still will not open. Can anyone help me or am I in the wrong place to even ask this question. I would be willing to use Outlook Express, but I don't know if this will fix my problem.
Thanks
Mary

Also try the MS KB article How to Troubleshoot Invalid Page Faults (IPF) in the Outllib.dll File. Lots of information, although it's for Outlook 2002 but may apply if you're using another version.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, but so far I haven't been able to fix it. Whatever this is, there just doesn't seem to be a solution. I wouldn't care so much, but I can't get all of my addresses from my address book and all of my saved e mails. I am able to use the Outlook Express which I am not crazy about, but at least I can send and receive email.

Thanks

What OS?

Have you tried a repair or reinstall of Outlook (or maybe MS office itself)?

 

To find your address book, do a search for wab (windows address book) then you can copy (import) into OE while you figure out the Outlook problem. I moved mine from the default location, and don't remember exactly where it used to be- but I think it was in C>doc & settings> user name>application data>Microsoft

I tried a repair and a reinstall, (twice) neither worked. I finally played around in Outlook Express and found an Import/Export option in the File drop down and was able to transfer all of my saved E mails and addresses from Outlook. It worked out great to at least recover all of the things I needed. Still don't know what happened to Outlook though.......Very Strange.
I was thinking about using Express for my e mail anyway??!!?? Thanks for all of the suggestions.
I will just have to go with Express, this is wayyyy toooo frustrating.
