Windows 7: Outlook 2010- Running script error

Hi, My Outlook has started giving me this issue everytime I start it. Any Ideas of why it says "an error has occured in the script on this page". Any ideas, PICTURE ATTATCHED

Hi,

We need a bit more detail please. Did this just start by itself, or after you changed something? When does this error occur -- what are you clicking to make this happen? Have you received any unusual spam email these last few days?

Regards,
Golden

Hi thanks for replying, I dont think I made any major changes. It just happens right after I open Outlook automatically. Also, I havent reveived any weird email

Hi, momanium!

There are a few areas in Outlook that can be examined for this error. The most common error would be a message in your inbox, formatted as HTML, has a bad JS attached. I am assuming you have Outlook configured to open into your inbox upon start up, correct?



You could temporarily change the start up location as indicated above to "Calendar" (see below) then check to see if the issue continues. If it does not, it is definitely an issue with a message you have received.



I'm not suggesting you leave it changed, just presenting it as a trouble shooting method to narrow the source of the issue you are having.

The other area to examine would be add-ins. Trouble shoot the messages in the inbox as described above, first, and, if that doesn't fix it, we can work from there.

Hi, thanks I went there and it was set to Outlook Today. Right, so I changed it to Inbox and now it opens fine. So it will hopefully stay fixed

Awesome, momanium!

Why your "Outlook Today" is giving you the script error is odd, though. Perhaps a repair install of Office 2010 would help?



It's worth a shot. Nonetheless, I'm very happy you have resolved the issue.

Hi, please could somebody tell me how to reinstall/repair Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 - I have searched everywhere and thought this would be an easy thing to do. Apparently not!

Thank you in advance,

James

Hi Irene, thank you for your reply. I managed to fix it by repairing Office 2010 by selecting: Control Panel, Programs and Features, MS Office 2010, Change. Typically I found this out about five minutes after my post - apologies for not saying I'd fixed the problem.

Thanks again for your reply though - it's reassuring to know that for future issues this is a good place to come for help!

Thank for posting back, JK.
