Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook wi

Purchased a new Windows 7 Home Premium system in January from Dell. Received
an automatic update on March 11th. The update did not affect the
administrator and one of the users but did affect a third user with the
message "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook
window." I don't know much about computers...can someone help me?

Windows 7 Home Premium.... 32-bit or 64-bit?

If you uninstall the update - does the problem go away?

Are you stating the other users of the computer (the other accounts) *can*
open outlook?
