Outlook experienced the problem after receiving a particular email. I used outlook/safe to keep outlook open and deleted the offending email. Many thanks for the tip.

Tentei tudo isso e ainda rodei o Combofix e o problema continua.

Próximo passo é reinstalar??

Hola me gusto tu post, describire algunas cosas.

1.-Prove todas las soluciones descritas para el error “microsoft office outlook ha detectado un problema y debe cerrarse”
2.- Desintale todo, borre registros con el RegSeeker/CcLeaner.
3. Borre carpeta en archivos de programa office.
4.- Borre carpeta de office en archivos comunes.-
5.- El error continua.-

Cabe destacar que no he instalado nada, el problema surgio cuando estaba trabajando con el notebook se me apago de una(se me desconecto).- Lo reinicie y empezo el error.-
(windows xp, sp2 x64)
Ojala me puedas ayudar :-

Hi, hope you can help me. I turned off the laptop by clicking “shutdown” and must have corrupted some file …I try to open outlook and the following message appears: “Unable to start the Microsof Office Outlook. Could not open the window Outlook, Could not open the folder X. Errors were identified in the file D:\…outlook.pst. Close Outlook and all mail-enabled applications and use the repair tool inbox (scanpst.exe) to diagnose and repair errors in the file.

Thanks for your help! I’ve been getting these Outlook encountered a problem errors for a while now and method 3 solved it for me. Looks like I had installed an add-on that was not going well with Outlook. Removed that and no more error.

If you receive e-mails from different accounts and you want to set one as your default for sending how do you do it.

I have Outlook 2007. I started receiving this message after an unexpected power cut. Tried all steps but the one that worked for me was provided by Chris G in the comments. Delete all files in the C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder. (Make a copy first so you can restore if needed). Thanks to all for the help, was dreading a format/reinstall!

I have Outlook 2003 and it was giving me the error message “….encountered a problem…..” every time I tried to delete an email or move one to a different folder. And each time it closed it would check the app for a problem, which would take about 4 minutes. Your Method 2 worked like a charm. After deleting and recreating the email account the problem went away. Thanks so much for the tip.
