II have been using Outlook 2008 on an office computer for several years. This is a Mac desktop running OS10 Lion. This week every time I open Outlook the pinwheel spins for a few seconds and the program crashes. Repeatedly crashes. I have requested IT assistance but nothing has been done yet. So I am asking for some help. This is what the error window says:
