OEM Re-Install, Outlook Hangs
Mar 31, 2008
I'm trying to get around a problem in Outlook (2007), whereby Outlook hangs for around ten minutes if you hit key or click the mouse whilst it is mid-stream of checking a POP3 mailbox. To this point, I've tried just about everything, recreating the Outlook profile, recreating the Windows profile, installed SP1, uninstalled SP1, installed other office hotfixes, uninstalled same hotfixes, installed Vista SP1, uninstalled Vista SP1, installed Vista hotfixes, uninstalled Vista hotfixes.
The next thing I want to do, short of a fresh clean install of Vista, is to do an inplace re-install of Vista. However, in the Home Premium stakes, all I have is an OEM disk, which is what the machine came with. Does anyone have any way this can be done? I want to try this as a last-resort fix, as it did work for me in resolving a problem with a different Outlook 2007 problem on a Vista Business machine, but I feel kind of stuck, and in a position where I now have to purchase a Home Premium Upgrade, just to get the disk. Seems a lot of expense to go to, just for a piece of plastic.

My problem is that Outlook 2003 on VISTA Business hangs when checking for incoming mail. It also somestimes takes a very long time (several minutes) to send an email - the email window remains open with the hourglass running, and while waiting to send or while receiving Outlook is completely hung, so you cannot use it - you cannot even minimize or get any response from any of the Outlook windows. The windows do not redraw.
If I cancel the application using Task Manager, it initially says "Outlook is not responding" and also "Checking for a solution to this problem" but then both Outlook and the "Checking for a solution" windows vanish without trace. On restart Outlook will sometimes work OK when pressing send/receive, other times it will hang as before. It does not come up with the message that Outlook was not closed properly and does not go through the file checking process.

Made the dive to Vista 64 on a new build. It is on an Asus Maximus Extreme with 2 gig of RAM and an 8800 Ultra video card. I setup to WD raptors in RAID 0. verything with the install seemed to go without a hitch. The install is from a Vista Ultimate 64 builders pack. The install starts with no problems at all and it sees my raid array without installing any drivers. The install does the copy, expansion and so on without a hickup. It is after I enter a user name and password, date, etc and the system initiates into its "performance check" when it completely hangs. It never leaves the first splash screen of the performance check. I let it sit for over an hour and still no progress.............

I was told that this software would work on Vista in compatibility mode before I bought it for my kids.

I'm having some trouble doing a clean install of vista on my machine. I had already installed it once back in January of 2008, and was going to do a clean install here last night. I formatted my hard drive, and start the installation it will go through all of its steps until it states that it needs to restart. It restarts then goes to the part where it says it is "completing installation" and then it just hangs. Things I've tired:.........

I use Windows Mail on my machine with Vista x64 only because I don't have Outlook installed... Is that obsolete with Vista? My question regards attachments that are attached to the email. They are stripped/removed in transit. Other posts about this say that they can see the attachment but can't open it... but this is a different issue. There is no attachment at all though I attached and sent the email myself.

I'm really not liking Microsoft Mail. I googled "download Outlook Express" and did find a free download. Can I run both programs at the same time? I'm getting old and change is harder than it used to be.

I have an HP7900 16GB memory using Vista 64. I have a big problem as I can't install / remove any software. Can't access outlook 2003 (it just hangs, just like when I try to install / remove software). I can't use the restore programmes either (Just hangs as above). This all stated when a red cross appeared on my networking icon in the bottom right of the screen.
I have tried to down load registry checkers but as above, they can't install. I can still access the internet and use all my adobe software, all office except outlook and use the internet. Has anyone else seen this?

I'm learning to use Vista (new computer purchased yesterday) and my old PC as XP and Office 2003. I only use the calendar feature of Outlook and was wondering if there's a way to import my outlook file (outlook.pst) to Vista Calendar (seems to only import .ics files) as I don't yet have Outlook 2007 installed on my Vista PC.

I have a desktop that I upgraded from XP Pro to Vista Ultimate and a laptop running on Windows XP Pro. I recently upgraded both devices from Office 2003 to Office 2007. Before I upgraded the desktop to Vista, I copy the Outlook.pst back and forth the two machines to synchronize my e-mail. Now that the desktop is running on Vista and the laptop still running XP Pro, can I do the same thing to synchronize my e-mail or is there a better solution in synchronizing the pst files.

I have a Dell Laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate (32 Bit OS) and I have Office 2007 Enterpris edition installed. I had my work email (Exchange Server) configured within my outlook and it worked fine until lastweek. It just stopped working and I thought I'll try and reset outlook and try and re-configure but then everything went really wrong.
I deleted all the Pst and ost files, deleted the old profile and created a new one.I configured a new profile and configured the exchange server settings and tried to start outlook but now it only gives me an error saying .... "cannot open default email folder. you must connect to microsoft exchange with current profile before you can synchronize with your offline folder file".. (see the screenshots)................

I bought a new computer running Vista Home Prem x64 SP1 and installed Outlook 2007. My older computer (XP x32 SP2) has Outlook 2003. Both computers are connected in a home network. All my emails and address book are in Outlook 2003 outlook.pst file. How do I bring that outlook.pst (2003) into Outlook 2007, so that I could have all my emails and address book in Outlook 2007? Right now in my Outlook 2007 my address book is practically blank.

When I boot up in the morning, I have to wait 20 to 30 mins before Outlook 07 will connect to my Exchange 2003 server. Until then, when I try to open Outlook it says, cannot open the default e-mail folders. And it suggests there is a network issue or that the Exchange server is down. These are not the case. The Exchange server is up and there are no network issues. I have many other computers attached to the network and none of them have this issue. Some our XP Pro/Office 07, some are XP Pro/Office 2003. The big difference with my machine is that it is Vista.
After about 20 to 30 minutes, wow! it connects! And then it's good for the rest of the day. I usually only minimize Outlook after I actually get it open so the connection is maintained throughout the day. I'm not sure what would happen if I closed it completely. But one thing is for sure, every morning, it takes 20 to 30 minutes before it will connect. Eventually, it always connects.

I just purchased a Toshiba A205-7464 laptop before Christmas and have been having a problem lately with the wireless internet hanging on me.
I will be online for a certain period of time, sometimes hours, sometimes 10 minutes. I will try to go to a website, not always the same one, and IE will just hang, no graphics will come up, the green bar just stops halfway through and it just hangs. I get no error page or anything but in order to get it working again, I have to reboot. It is really starting to tick me off because it is starting to happen more frequently. I have uninstalled McAfee and installed my own Security Software (CA Suite).
Here are some stats on my PC:...

I have built up a new system...been running perfectly since August 2008.
2 nights ago I had just finished an update to itunes and some other apple software which required a restart. Upon restart, the system hung while booting.didn't get to the user account log-in screen.it froze with a blackscreen with the mouse cursor sitting there in the middle.
I have done the following things and observed the following behaviour:I have not added any hardware to the system Windows Update has doing automatic updates the systems boots and runs perfectly in safe mode with networking I have reverted to a couple of different restore points prior to installing the apple software...no change I have disabled all non-Microsoft software from starting up via Windows Defender...no change I can get the system to boot to where it displays the user accounts login screen. When I click on an account and enter the password it will hang at that point. Mouse continues to respond but no further response. Disk drive light goes solid but no sound of the disk operating If at the user account log in screen I select to shut the system down it will hang during shutdown checking the event logs shows a range of various fatal errors.I can provide more info on this at later posts if needed but the messages look quite similar to other posts given for a range of different behaviours so I am not sure which if any are relevant. Booting to the Vista CD and doing a repair found no errors. In short, my perfectly happy and functioning system has suddenly gone mental for no obvious reason.

I have a recurring problem in that my computer randomly will freeze and become non responsive(though I can move the mouse during these freezes). When clicking on a link or trying to view an e-mail I get the message "Not Responsive" as I watch the Windows "circle" rotate in the middle of the screen. Usually within 15 seconds to a minute the computer again returns to usable state. It used to happen only in Windows Mail. But about two weeks ago it started happening when using other programs, IE, Firefox, etc.
My system specs are as follows:
Dell Dimension E521
Vista Home Premium 32 bit
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2GHz
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz- 2DIMMs
256MB NVIDIA Geforce 7300LE TurboCache
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
Optiquest 19" widescreen lcd 1280 x 768
250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
Tower
Dell USB Keyboard and Dell 2-button Scroll Mouse
DSL 3.0 Mbps down 384 Kbps up
To this point I worked with Dell support to try to solve the problem. After doing a disk cleanup, removing temp files, etc. that didn't fix it, they had me perform a restore to Factory Settings. However even after doing that and reinstalling my programs and data files, the problem persists. I have tried opening Windows in safe mode and the problem doesn't occur then. BTW, there are no error messages when this occurs.

Im running vista 64bit home premium on my acer desktop. Its been absolutly fine until today. I uninstalled a game and suddenly...well.. every time I close any application the system hangs up/stalls..the cursor goes into 'wait' mode and I can't do anything, the windows key does nothing, etc. Task manager does come up after cntrl/alt/dlt, but it wont do anything - the cursor won't even close it. If Im in a game and tab out, the same thing happens. Sometimes it happens once Ive booted. The desktop pic may be there but the desktop icons wont be...If I go to the menu screen and hit log off then suddenly things happen as they should, but the machine, naturally, logs off. Ive run a virus scan using avast, but it found nothing.

I just bought parts for a new computer, today i finished putting together, now when I try to install Vista, it hangs at the 'loading files....' screen. I've tried installing XP Pro too, and it gives me a STOP C0000221' Unknown Hard Error' after it copies all the files, and tries to start the installation.

So this is the first issue I've really had with this. I try to uninstall the current SP1 to install the new refresh and this is what happens. All goes well until stage 3. Stage 3 gets to 74-75% and "hangs". When I say hangs... it does progress... SLOOOOOWLLLLYYY. Eventually its gets to about 85% then jumps to 100% and eventually says "uninstall has failed" and reverts changes. It's 11:30pm right now. I started the uninstall at ~6:15pm. Between it going slowly and then reverting the changes, thats how long it took. Tried this twice so far, both with the same result. I previously uninstalled a different version of the SP, no issues.

My Vista very often hangs, usually on shutdown. I have to pull the plug. Will this damage my laptop if I keep doing it? I have to though cos its hung. Problem Reports and Solutions is useless of course it doesnt specify anything. If it wont damage the laptop then I can just keep pulling the plug when it happens.

I've been having major troubles getting my Vista 64-bit box to start up reliably.
Symptoms: During startup my Vista 64-bit machine unexpectedly "powers off" and the power button, reset button, and power switch stop working until I unplug the power cable on the back and plug it back in.
Workaround: If I boot into safe mode first, I can usually reboot back into Windows normally.
Triggers: This doesn't happen every time, although usually after Windows Update forces me to reboot it will happen. There was a power outage today and it took several reboots and unplugging the computer to get it to boot again afterwards.
Other issues: Lately when I try to put Vista to sleep, it doesn't always go into low power mode and seems to just leave everything on. Sometimes it never sleeps and goes back to the login screen immediately.
When the system dies, it usually makes this high-pitched whining noise just beforehand that I think may be the CPU - this noise happens on every boot, whether successful or not, but might be a clue about what triggers the power-off.

A friends relatively new Dell laptop running Vista Ultimate SP1 32bit. Downloaded SP2, but has hung for 3 hours at the "installing Service Pack 2 stage 3 of 3 - 92% complete. Do not turn off or unplug your Computer" stage. I had disabled all anti-virus and firewalling software.
I am told by friend that this is what happened when he first tried to install SP2, though he DID get through to 100% complete, before message popped up that installation failed and that his lappie would be rolled back to last good SP1 configuration. I have tried the wuauserv net stop bits net start bits repair.bat file that I read about elsewhere. His wife's exact same laptop (bought at same time, same configuration, same updates installed) installed SP2 no problems.
