What are OUTLOOK.EXE Error Messages?

OUTLOOK.EXE Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Microsoft Office Basic 2007 errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when OUTLOOK.EXE is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Office Basic 2007 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Microsoft Office Basic 2007.

In most cases, OUTLOOK.EXE runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these OUTLOOK.EXE error messages mean that Microsoft Office Basic 2007 was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Microsoft Office Basic 2007 will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Finding the source of the OUTLOOK.EXE error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting OUTLOOK.EXE will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Microsoft Office Outlook. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Microsoft Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of OUTLOOK.EXE errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
