Microsoft outlook won't start

[PalmStrike]

Hello Apple people,

I have a mac here that is on our network (NT Server with Microsoft Exchange 5.5), and for some reason, outlook fails to start.

You can open up outlook, and the log in box comes up, so you type in the password, and click connect, then it just disapears.

If you go into the icon in the top right hand corner, outlook does not appear to be running.

Any ideas??

I'd reinstall it as a first step.

Hmm, I hoped to avoid that, but I only really know PC's, is it the case that Mac's work or they don't work?

Hi again, it has just been brought to my attention that all his old emails are in personal folders (pst files?) would they be lost if outlook was reinstalled?

i know very little about macs, so if anyone can point me to a general overview site, so I can get some basics down like where to find files, and are file extensions the same as PC's that type of thing would be a bonus.
