Outlook 2010 always needing to restart

I just installed Office Professional 2010 on my Windows 7 Ultimate machine.  Everything works OK except Outlook.  It Outlook 2010, when I hit New Mail or reply to a mail, the editor comes up.  Sometimes, it crashes, often while in the middle of typing an email.  I get the message that Outlook has stopped working and that a solution is being sought for the problem.  No solution.  Outlook then restarts and I have to hope and pray that the next time I try to reply to an email or compose a new one, it actually lets me do so without crashing and restarting.  Any ideas?

Try doing a repair. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > right click Microsoft Office 2010 and choose Change.

Then choose Repair. Ensure all Office applications are closed before starting this.

Sorry I should have mentioned I tried this.  When I have had similar problems with previous versions, it was usually an add-in, but then Outlook displayed a message to that effect.  This time there is no message like that and I am not aware of any issues with my add-ins which are from Textaloud (a text-to-speech program I use), PDF Converter 6 from Nuance, and Norton Internet Security.  I don't think it is any of these.  I did try the Repair option but to no avail.

I got the update of Nuance PDF Converter, upgrading to version 7 and the problem seems to have disappeared.  So it seems it was the add-in component of PDF converter.  Outlook has other issues, but this one seems to be dealt with.
Glad to hear it!
