I updated my clients server 2008 to SP2 from SP1 and it kills Outlook. I previously (a month ago) did a complete uninstall of SP2 along with all updates that were installed that day, re-installed Office 2007 Standard and it worked just fine.

I have turned off DEP, ran some registry items that ive found online and spent hours on this!  The server is working great as SP2 fixed a lot of "weird" issues. BUT Outlook and ONLY Outlook is crashing whenever you start the program.  It will not even let me try and start a new message, reply, etc.  It stops at send/receive and usually at 66%

any help would be wonderful!

Hi Adam,

If everything is Ok with Server settings and Outlook seems to crash, then firstly you should run Outlook in Safe Mode after disabling all the third party Plug-in.

To Run MS-Outlook in safe mode: Type Outlook/safe in Run Command.

In case, if Outlook/safe command is not useful then, read the complete guide to troubleshoot Outlook 2007 crashes: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2000071/en-us
