If you have installed Microsoft Office 2007 and Outlook starts and then closes immediately with the error:
Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close.
This is due to com objects that start with Outlook, usually Email to PDF. To fix this do the following:
To prevent the Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin from loading, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlo ok\Addins\PDFMOutlook.PDFMOutlook and change the LoadBehavior value from 3 to 2. Restart Outlook. When you use this method, the PDF functions will still be available in Word and the other Office programs. Note that installing Acrobat updates may reset the registry key.
You can remove the add-ins from other programs by editing a similar key, but it's generally better to use Add/Remove programs, because the keys are reset each time an update is installed.
To hide the toolbar button, create the OutlVisible value (if its isn't already there): and change to 0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\PDFMaker\ 7.0\Outlook\EmailToPDF
Value Name: OutlVisible
Value: 0
The original default Value to re-enable it is: 0xffffffff
