    If I access an archived email stored in a subdirectory that has an attachment (and sometimes, just an email) Outlook crashes under Windows 7 x64.  There is no error code given.  I get a message saying "Outlook has stopped working.  Looking for a solution".  I've removed and re-installed Office Ultimate 2007.  I've removed all Outlook add-ins.  I've checked the .pst file for corruption and none are reported.  I haven't looked at the App Log.  (I"m booted under XP now.)  It happens only with emails which are filed in personal folder subdirectories.

    On the same computer, if I boot up in XP 32-bit, I can open the same PST file using the XP installation of Office 2007.  I can access all the emails and attachments with no crashes.

    This may be caused by your security software. Temporarily disable protection and try to open an archived email.

    Check Event Viewer-Click Start>type Event in the search box, select Event Viewer from the results, let it gather data, then expand the critical and errors categories. That may provide a clue.

    Also, Office Help, search "open archived email"

    It may be better to post in the Office Community forum as the issue is an Outlook 2007 issue.
