Windows Live Mail PPS opening issue

Monday, 21 June 2010 08:37 Last Updated on Monday, 21 June 2010 09:04

When using Windows Live Mail on Windows 7 you might experience the problem with opening Power point files (.pps). Once you try to open an .pps attachment in Windows Live Mail you might receive the following error message:

This file does not have a program associated with it for performaing this action. Please install a program, or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel

This usually happens if you have a Power Point viewer installed instead of Power Point and it mostly happens when you try to open files from Windows Mail. Opening .pps files from other locations works normally though.

Hyperlinks not working in Outlook 2007

If you experience the problem with hyperlinks / links not working in Microsoft Outlook 2007.

You have tried to go set the Outlook and Internet Explorer as default applications. Once you did that Outlook links would start to work, but after the restart, the problem would come back.

Right click not working in Microsoft Outlook 2003

Wednesday, 05 May 2010 20:02

I had a situation where my client wasn't able to use the right-click options in Microsoft Outlook 2003, using Windows XP.

Unlike the Microsoft Outlook 2003, right-click is normally working in other applications from the Office suite. Repair or reinstall of Microsoft Office won't work here.

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot Open the Outlook Window

Monday, 12 October 2009 16:11

Today, once I've installed my new OS Windows 7 RTM with Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview and have configured all of my mail accounts, I've tried to delete some un-needed .pst file. Well, that was a mistake, once I closed Outlook I got Blue Screen and PC restarted, I tried to start Outlook and soon after the splash screen it showed an error:

"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot Open the Outlook Window”

Even after uninstalling and repairing Outlook 2010 using the Office 2010 set up, the same error occurred. Outlook failed to start even in the safe mode when this error occurred. I have also tried to remove Outlook profiles and all .pst files, create new ones, but with no luck.

This error is due to the problem with Outlook navigation panel which is failing to start and this could be due to many reasons like improper shutdown of Outlook.
The fix to this problem depends on the issue with Outlook. You can fix this issue using the methods mentioned below.

1. Open Start menu and Click Run (Windows Key + R) and type Outlook.exe /resetnavpane. Now try opening outlook, if the issue was due to navigation panel, resetting it would solve the issue. If the issue is still not solved, try step 2.

2. Run the Inbox Repair tool in Outlook- Inbox repair tool (Scanpst.exe) is included in the Office CD and is a tool to repair issues with Inbox personal folder (.pst) files. You can check the Microsoft KB article 272227 for more details on this.

It is most likely that you can solve this issue using Step 1.
