I am using Outlook 2000 with Windows 2000. Just recently when I minimize my Outlook window and then approx. 30 min. or later want to maximize Outlook, it won't do anything. I get no messages or anything. The only thing I can do is close Outlook and reopen it in order to check my mail. Does anyone have a thought on this? Thanks Gene

I have seen a problem similar to this when the maximize button is actually doing a restore and the restored window is off the screen. Try this:

Open Outlook
If it is maximized click the Restore Down button (in between the minimize and exit buttons).

If the window disappears then it is off the screen somewhere. By right-clicking the task bar button for Outlook and selecting Move you can use your arrow keys to move the window back onto the desktop. The problem is that it's trial and error as to which direction to move it if you don't know where it is.

Additionally, check out the kb article:

You might want to try the regfix download and see if it helps you.

Enjoy,

I tryed the regfix download and thought this had done the trick, but the next day individual was still having problem. That's when I posted the question. Thanks for the response, but I thank the problem turned out to be her cordless optical mouse. When she replaced the batteries she did not synchronize the pointer with the receiver.
