While this does remove the old versions, it often leaves additional components installed (like Microsoft Photo Editor of Office 2000 for example). While this works and is supported in various configurations, it could still interfere with normal operations of Outlook which makes it required to go to the repair process every time.Īn example is that when you are using Outlook 2003 and are using Word 2003 as your email editor but also have Word 2007 installed, Word could need to go through a repair process when you switch versions.Īnother example of ending up with components of multiple versions of Office installed is when you did an upgrade and let the installer remove the old versions. If that didn’t fix the problem either or only for a short while, it is likely that you have (components of) multiple versions of Office installed on your system. After the process completes, check Microsoft Update for any additional updates that you may need to reapply. If you are not starting the repair process from a the installation CD/DVD already, make sure to keep it handy anyway as you could be asked to insert it during this process.
Insert the installation CD/DVD of Outlook or Office, start setup.exe and choose the Repair function from there.Make sure you press the button Change or Repair and not actually the Uninstall button. By starting it from Control Panel-> Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP and previous) or Uninstall a Program (Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8).You can find these options in various locations Running an “Office Diagnostics” or a “Detect and Repair” are the tools of choice for this. If it can’t fix Outlook on its own, it will need some help. The first thing that you should do is to let it finish it’s obviously trying to repair something and pressing Cancel won’t help with that. Why is Outlook doing this and how can I make it go away? Sometimes this also happens when I open a message or do something else. When starting Outlook, every time I need to go through some installation process before it actually opens.
