| 628774 | 2008-01-09 10:51:00 | When starting Outlook 2007 (Vista OS) I have begun to get a message saying "a file did not close properly. Checking files" This runs for a while then says "Complete". There appears to be no collateral damage but have been running O/L 2007 for over a year and haven't had this.... anyone??? Also the nasty "General Failure.. URL not found" message when clicking links in emails and using Firefox as a browser has, at the same time, returned. I thought that was fixed now.... but. All updates have been done on all software and various Registry fix tools (Reg Mechanic and Regcure) don't sort either of these. Many thanks for any suggestions Happy New year to all Brent |

| 628776 | 2008-01-09 21:13:00 | Thanks Darroll - seems to have worked this time. Question will be, I guess, whether as new files are created it manages to close them "properly". Many thanks B |

| 628777 | 2008-01-09 21:45:00 | Is SP1 installed? That may fix it. I would be careful with programs like Regcure or Registry fix tools. They can totally screw up a system. |

| 628778 | 2008-01-09 22:23:00 | Thanks. I am awaiting a more "official" release of SP1 for Vista - I think only the beta is doing the rounds at present!! Point noted re registry quick fix programs.... I am fairly careful. I tend to regard the need to fiddle with the black hole which is the registry as a sign that one has failed earlier on in the process somewhere. | Trader46 (8437) | ||
| 628779 | 2008-01-09 22:25:00 | I meant SP1 for Office 2007, not SP1 for Vista. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 628780 | 2008-01-09 22:29:00 | Actually yes - was a bit unsure which you were referring to. Have SPI for the whole 2007 suite installed.... back when it came out. At present the "archive then re start" solution seems to be working. Maybe there was a rogue file somewhere (now archived no doubt to bite me in the future!!) Cheers B |

| 628781 | 2008-01-09 23:17:00 | Hmm this site (aspadvice.com) Says SCANPST.exe which is in the office12 folder, will fix it for a while. Run it then point it here C:\Documents and Settings\<userfolder>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.pst Another user said Google Desktop, if this is installed maybe the cause of your prob. Uninstall it, this prob disappears. Another user said: Go to your Send and Receive options and choose the button that says; "Perform an automatic send and receive upon exiting" Another user said go here and download this (sunflowerhead.com) Another link (www.shahine.com) about it I wouldnt be surprised if its something like Indexing Service, (which is installed with XP, and probably Vista as well). Kill it. Or any program that deals with indexing. |

| 628782 | 2008-01-09 23:57:00 | Hey look that's absolutely stand out thanks!!! Very much appreciated. Quite a few of those things make sense to me so I shall look at them all.... I have a feeling Google desktop may be the issue. Cheers Brent :) |
