AutoCAD will not open if Outlook is started first

(1/1)

Gael:
Hello,

I have an issue....

I am running Windows 7 on 64bit machine.

Every night I restart my computer....

The next morning when I log in usually I open my email (MS Outlook - office 2007) then I start Civil 3D (2011) and it starts to open but then it hangs.  I get the Civil 3D background but a drawing or command line will not come up and I just get a little blue circle that goes around and around and around.

This is not the only program affected, my time card which is a locally written software will actually start the software but then when I open my timecard it stalls and I get the blue circle again.

I also have noticed problems with my desktop icons.  If I right click on them to get to a menu they just stall and I get the circle again.  At that point Windows Explorer is having problems and the computer will shut that application and I can once again move around.

However upon restart if I start Autocad up and then eventually open MS Outlook I seem to run OK.

Any suggestions out there?

Not sure, but this post (on Microsoft Answers) sounds very similar.

In short... Maybe try reinstalling Outlook?

so Civil3d and others launch just fine IF you open them BEFORE Outlook....
