    I installed windows7 64bit and office 2007 two weeks ago and all seemed well. A couple of days ago Outlook refused to load. The rest of the Office suite seems OK.
    Outlook is working normally on other machines on Vista on the same broadband connection.
    My ISP is AOL.
    Anyone else suffered this?

    Thanks Arie, I thought it strange when nobody else was complaining, I do remember a similar problem with pre-release Vista, althought that was a TCP problem this is software failure
    I've tried sys restore and outlook repair but still no joy! I'll try a re-install on a temporary machine.

    Hi Arie, I've uninstalled office and reinstalled the disk, (initially I just tried the repair option) it's just finished all it's updates, and so far outlook is now working again. It was about 10 days before it failed last time, so time will tell.

    The other odd thing about this saga is that the icons against web addresses in 'favourites' have associated themselves with the wrong addresses, it's of no consequence because the addess still works, but very strange.

    Anyway thanks very much for your help.

    I've been running the RC since April... no problems here. I know it doesn't help you, but it seems system specific.

    Outlook is refusing to load again, it seems to be related to office SP1.
    I didn't have a problem with Beta just RC.
    I've loaded live mail as an interim and that is fine (in some ways better than outlook)
    Cheers

    Try SP2. I've been running Office SP2 since it was released.
