I was watching a video on Youtube and then the computer does a quirky thing that it typically has been doing for about a month. It freezes and repeats 1 second of audio from the video on loop. Whatever, I restart the computer like every other time. Apple is ****, nothing new. This time around, upon restart, I get "There is a problem with the Office database. To use the database, you must rebuild it using the Database Utility."
Sure, okay, Rebuild it. Microsoft Database Utility opens with Step 1 of 5: Scanning... "Your identity is older than this version of Outlook. Please rebuild by using the last version of Outlook that used this identity." This confused me, as I probably opened Outlook once... by accident. Then immediately closed it. I don't even know what it does, probably nothing worth my time. I tried looking online saying to update this, install that, but it seems I need to solve world hunger and balance the deficit before I fulfill whatever requirement Microsoft is riddling me to do.
I have Office 14.6.0 (Office for Mac 2011) and all other Office apps work fine. Outlook, however, brings me to this little window asking me "How I would like to get started?" I swiftly flip my computer the finger as I force quit out, because there is no other option to leave the application. Word, Excel, and Powerpoint all work perfectly. If it was up to me, I would completely ignore all this rubbish, but that "There is a problem with the Office Database." Keeps re-popping on my screen and is always on top of any other application.
I really want this little window to go away. I already spent 2 hours reading unhelpful info from this site, maybe cause some other blokes had this issue 4 years ago. And I spent another 2 hours by myself trying to understand the hieroglyphics that is Microsoft's sod accessibility. Any help would be great, because my sarcasm and frustration has reached the daily dose for today.
