Business Contact Manager (BCM) causing Outlook crash loop

[selr-neophyte]

Microsoft Windows XP Professional - Outlook 2003: When opening Outlook, BCM

is causing Outlook to generate "must close" error, which additionally causes

Outlook crash. The message generator causes crash loop. Can anyone help me

fix this?

You could uninstall BCM for Outlook 2007 SP2 by going to Control Panel,

Add/Remove Programs (this applies to Windows XP so you need to work it

out for Windows 7).

After uninstalling BCM, check whether it is BCM that is causing the

problem. Have you got anything special in BCM that you can't afford to

lose? Uninstalling BCM will result in loss of your data so backup is

advisable here.

Not on Windows 7, so hopefully this will work. i, also, am not sure there is

any critical data in BCM. Given the way it is hog tied now, i may need to

sacrafice and move on.

If this is happening before Outlook has a chance to load (ie. When Outlook is attempting to initialize Add-Ins), I found that the only way to fix this issue was to fully uninstall all .Net Frameworks from my machine, install BCM and reinstall any other required .Net Frameworks.

The BCM installation will recommend which .Net it requires. After rebooting the computer and running Windows update, the other Frameworks I had uninstalled were then recommended for download including their respective Service Pack Updates. Just be sure to take note of which .Net Frameworks you have installed on your system and prepare to install them afterwards.

Just my two cents.
