Ref to the message below, I discovered that I had ticked the box under the
Compatibility tab in Outlook Properties, marking Windows 98. When I unticked
the box, Outlook starts normally.
However, a short while after Outlook has started, I get a "Microsoft Windows
Messaging Subsystem" message saying (again translated from Swedish to English
so the terminology may not be exactly as the original English one): "MAPI
Spooler has unexpectedly terminated. Close all mailconnected programs before
you log on again". This happens even if no other applications are running.
The effect is that no mails can be sent or received. Any idea about what to
do?
