outlook 2010 won't open signatures
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. Had installed Outlook 2010 64-bit but had some compatibility issues so I had to uninstall and re-install 32-bit.
Now I cannot edit my signatures at all. My existing signatures are there and they do work, but I need to make some changes and whenever I click on the "signatures" button, it does nothing. It won't open the signature editing window.
thanks

Yes- get's the same result. Click the button just does nothing.

Apparently a number of other people are having a similar problem:

However, follow this work around suggested, doesn't work well for me.

When you goto File > Options > Mail > Signatures can you post a screenshot of the box that opens?
I'm experiencing the same problem.
For work, I was testing Office 2010 on a W7 32b machine.
I've launched the Office 2010 setup and went for the upgrade while keeping the existing version of Office 2007.
All applicatiosn worked fine, even outlook (I could send email and so on...), but when going to File > Options > Mail, nothing happens when clicking on several buttons like signatures, stationnery & fonts etc....
I've already tried without success
- repairing Office
- complete uninstall/reinstall (+ registry cleaner with CCleaner in between)
- running Outlook in safe mode
- creating a new mail profile
- creating a new windows profile
problem remains

@ the location
c:\users\<windows profile name>\appdata\roaming\micr
Do you see some files\details in the same name as you gave for the signature name?
Can you please try removing\deleting\modifyin

hi,
yes indeed, all my signatures (i have 4 different ones) are saved in that location.
i've already tried moving them into another folder (so the appdata/signatures folder is empty) but it made no difference (and I did close/restart Outlook in between)

In my testing...even if i delete the folder Signature...in a while (atleast after accessing the signature button @ Options)...the Signature folder is getting created without any issues.
>> want to delete the folder and files...then any issues?
>> Do you have any issues with the Text\RTF\HTML signature?
>> Do you have the same word\Office as the Outlook? or different?
Want to check on the machines with the same word\office versions?

Hi Dimazter, here's a screen shot you were asking for

@e_aravind:
I cannot edit any of the signatures
If I delete or move the signature's folder, a new one gets created that is empty. However, I still cannot click any "signature" buttons to open and edit them.
I have the same Word/Office versions running Office 2010 32-bit.

I did already found this post, but it didn't work for me.
I suppose this is a fix specifically for 64-bit (I'm on 32)

forgot to add:
I suppose this is a fix specifically for 64-bit (I'm on 32) because I do not have that "Wow64..." key.
But I do have A LOT of LocalServer32 in other locations pointing to a location similar to something like "w_1^V8!!!!!!!!!MKKSkOUTLO

yes, i would agree with CCBelux
In my lab too...i have wow64 reg. key
Default is pointing to Outlook.exe
LocalServer32 ...is still having some cryptic details..but in my machine signature works fine without any issues.
