This seems to be an annoying problem. My Outlook 2007 has run fine until my computer crashed about a month ago. I had the HDD reformatted and now i get that message that is plaguing many. i have tried all of the above and more but nothing changes.

You are correct. Google desktop search trashes outlook. I do not know if google has fixed this yet, but that is step one for me when people have outlook problems ost/pst problems if I see that in their add/remove programs.

Outlook Fix!! I have the same issue, and I found that if you disable Outlook from “empty the deleted items folder on exit”, your problem will go away.!!

Hope this helps someone!

I am plagued by the issue as well, and it kills performance while the excruciatingly long check occurs.If Apple has not already done so, they need to work on something to replace Outlook, and then the business world needs to step back and take a serious look at a new direction with Apple. The best way to describe Microsoft is this: Sloppy, flawed software, that in THEORY is a “perfect solution”. Great ideas, that just never execute properly. Plagued by malware, viruses, trojans, and all sorts of inherent weaknesses, Microsoft Software is just awful to use. I love my Macbook, and I just wish more knew the joy of having a computer that just “works” (Apple). That dream is a long way off though.

Removing iTunes Outlook addin fixed this for me.

I’m running Outlook 2007 on Vista Ultimate with a PST (pop3 to ISP).

Check your addins. The most likely culprit is Google Desktop Outlook Bar.
Go to Tools – Trust Centre – Add-ins. At the bottom, find a drop-down : Manage – COM Add Ins. select Go…
From the list, uncheck Google Desktop Outlook Bar. Select OK.
It should be clean to shut down now.
Just a badly written add-in. This usually fixes it.

For this business i usually use next utility-Recovery Toolbox for Outlook,also as how as i remember tool has free status,it restore all your contacts, emails, meetings and tasks are typically stored on server,permit to open *.ost files and convert them into *.pst files, that can be opened by any program, compatible with Microsoft Outlook email client,allows opening ost files and to store your personal data independently from Microsoft Exchange Server, it is very important, if you’d like to access your contacts and email archive from outside of your company,can extract the files in *.vcf, *.eml and *.txt formats.
