Why is running "outlook /safe" (note the space) from the command prompt unsuccesfull? You forgot to tell.

Outlook 2000, running in XP, opens momentarily and disappears. I googled the problem and have tried, I think, every solution mentioned from logging on as a new user, to attempting (unsucessfully) to start the program in safe mode, to uninstalling the program and re-installing it. Nothing works.
Does anyone out there have a clue?
