outlook 2003 'the operation failed'

Hi,

I am having this issue where multiple PC's on the network are unable to get into outlook 2003 sometimes. they click it and it says 'the operation failed'

if I keep clicking it, eventually it goes in, works fine and all functions are fine.

I have re-installed office and this still makes no difference.

I have disabled add-ons with no luck either.

it wasn't happening a few days ago, now a fair few PC's are affected.

Details:

Exchange SBS
windows 7
outlook 2003

Anything in the event log for either system or application? I would run a disk clean up and malware check on system.
Hi,

Mainly this type of problems occurs if Exchange Server 2003 Administrative Tools and Outlook 2003 are installed on the same computer. Please check once.

@tmoore1962 nothing in event viewer, im not going to run a disk clean up and malware check because multiple machines are having the problem and a couple of the PC's are brand new and only just been put on the network.
@Shewta Goel I haven't got that installed on my PC.
