    Hi Gunasekar,

    I did steps 2 & 3 above, created new profile, but in this process I lost all my contacts & notes since the .pst files were not carried over into the new profile. I do not have the old profile listed as an option to log into either. How do I get this data back and load into the new profile? Very frustrating.

    Thank you,

    Mark

    1. Open Task Manager,
    2. look for Outlook under Background Processes,
    3. click on it then on End Task.

    Worked for me. Quick and simple.
