"Operating Sysmet not presonty configured..." Outlook won't start after reinstalling windows
Hi. I'm in outlook 2003.
I had to reinstall windows, now my outlook won't start. I insert my Office CD but there's no repair option, it's not detecting it, all I can do is install another Office.
I need to get my emails and outlook information!
Thanks.

Hello
bruin, I don't have a PST backup. I don't think outlook makes them automatically.
war1, can't find outcmd.dat ANYWHERE on my pc...
In step 3 you're asking me to go into outlook, I cannot get it open at all, it just gives the error "Operating Sysmet not presonty configured to run this application", (sorry above i said "i'm in outlook", i meant "im using outlook 2003")
It's in outlook 11 (2003, i think)
Thanks!

Rusalki,
Outcmd.dat is a hidden file. Go to any folder and select Tools > Folder Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders". Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". Click OK.
To disable Outlook addins when you cannot open Outlook, do a search for extend.dat file and rename it.

War1, i have unhidden hidden files and even protected operating system files. still no results for either of those files in search...
To reitterate... All I have done is reinstall windows, and now these errors.
Thanks!
