recent problems with Outlook (Office 2010)

version 14.0.7106.5003 (32 bit)
Windows 7 Home Premium with SP1

I have encountered two problems recently:

1.  When I try to create a new message, the new message window is behind the parent window.  Previously, it would appear on top of the parent.

2.  I tried to attach a file.  The dialog opened to browse and pick the file (which I did), but the file was not attached to the Outlook message.

My Outlook is configured to work without using a browser.  It has worked properly for years.  I was wondering if a recent software patch might have broken some code.

Thanks for your help

When I open Outlook it has started consistently opening to a new message window which has  the address of the  last person I sent an email to.  I have to cancel it to see my inbox, but the next time I open up Outlook, the same new message is there instead of my inbox.  I have cleared my cache, history, and cookies and logged completleyl out but it still continues to open up in this new message window instead of my inbox. I even sent that message out, but it was back again when I opened Outlook.  How I can I get Outlook to open to my inbox instead of this message?

how to quickly change spell check language in live essentials mail?

10. April 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , ,

Using Mail application from Live Essentials package I write messages in different languages. Is there any way to quickly change spell checker language within message window?

As for now I have to go for application options and change spell checker default language (it affects all messages written from that point of time - till I do not change it again). I would prefer to change spell checker language in real time within the message window (as it's possible in Outlook).

Did I missed something or that quick language change is not possible in Live Essentials Mail?

auto complete detached in Outlook 2011

when creating a new email message I begin to type the address and the auto complete list is detached from the To box dropdown.  Also when I move the email message window up the list disappears all together.  If I bring the email message window down the list appears inches above the email message window.  I want the list to default to dropping down from To box dropdown.

strange position of recent contacts and address list pane

Hello!
I have a strange problem.
When i try to write somebody, recent contacts and address list pane is opened from the top of screen on a distance from message window. The distance has fixed size, when message window is moved, address pane is moved too. On all windows view it looks like one long window.
Screenshots attached.

The new account has the same problem. Outlook restore didn't fix the problem.

A message window opens that says:  "The application failed because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect".  Does anyone know how to fix this??
