outlook problem also
sorry for your trouble with outlook, but am glad it is not just me.
i had the same problem where outlook would start to load then say "outlook has stopped working" and shutdown. I was able to open outlook in safe mode, and use most features (open in safe mode by holding ctrl button while clicking outlook icon. it will say do you want to open in safe mode, and click yes)
eventually it has started working, which i makes me happy, but i don't know why it did. i had previously tried a bunch of things that did not help (system restore/restarts/etc)
everything seems fine with outlook now.
however my iphone continues to sync only some of my calender entries, and not others, with no pattern i can figure out. it initially only synced some of my contacts, but they all eventually got in.
it would be great if anyone has any ideas, as right now what i have had to do is put in the missing appointments into my iphone, then when i sync, my desktop has double entries.
annoying but i can live with it until someone comes up with a better fix.
