Try going into the Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, find Microsoft Office in the list, and choose to Repair it This is the same as running Detect and Repair from the Help menu, but when you can't get into the program, you have to do it from this back door, so to speak. If this doesn't fix it, search your hard drive for scanpst.exe ... This is the Inbox Repair file....try repairing you pst file.
