Last night, for the second time, Outlook decided that it no longer wanted to open in full screen once executed. It happened just as my NVidia driver crashed and no matter what I did I couldn't get it to come off the task bar so I could see it. I tried repairing, using the switches, starting in safe mode and unchecking all the add ons yet nothing worked. Then today I tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it and even that didn't work. I was getting frustrated and went ahead and installed thunderbird so I could access my mail in a non retarded fashion like windows mail offers. While sitting there I looked up help on the ms site and went through their procedures for manually uninstalling office. I ended up just searching regedit for any office entry and deleting it plus getting all the folders and subfolders on the c drive pertaining to office plus deleted all temp files. Then I reinstalled office and miraculously outlook worked fine again. This is some of the craziest stuff I've seen with an email program. I started keeping my email in server folders for just an event such as this and my strategy paid off so I didn't lose anything.
Have any of you experienced the same thing from office 2010? I see tons of posts scattered about with people seeing the very same behavior. I find it strange that only outlook is affected and not the rest of the software. 2010 seems awful fragile to me compared to the older versions of office.
