Problem:

Outlook opens but the main window doesn’t display, or when minimised it disappears.

Check first:

The first check is just to make sure its not set to minimise to the task bar (near the clock in on the right hand of your computer). If there is an Outlook icon already there, right click on it and make sure “Hide when minimised” isn’t ticked, if it is then untick it and restart Outlook to see if has fixed your problem.

Solution:

This I worked out by myself with a lot of messing around, follow these steps and hopefully it will fix your Outlook issue. If it does then please leave us a comment below.

1) Change outlook properties to open maximized

(Right Click on the Outlook icon, go to properties, shortcut and then next to run change it to maximized)

2) Open Outlook in safe mode (hold down CTRL key when double clicking the icon)

3) Right click on your taskbar and chose cascade windows

4) Close outlook down

5) Re-open outlook

Fixed! I hope, please let me know if it works for you.

Thailand is the No. 2 maker of hard drives, used in laptops, servers and TV set-top boxes, and damage caused by flooding across the region could keep factories closed or hobbled for months, analysts and executives say.

World output of hard drives could fall as much as 30 percent in the final three months of 2011 and manufacturers that need them are now scrambling to snap up existing inventories, according to market research firm IHS iSuppli.

Leading chipmaker Intel said on Friday it was keeping an eye on a “dynamic” situation but expects existing stores of drives and unaffected sources to help keep the PC industry supplied. If manufacturers build fewer PCs, Intel sells fewer processors.

Intel on Tuesday said the flooding would not affect the PC market in the fourth quarter.

“The PC supply chain has proven to be very resilient, as most recently demonstrated in the response to the earthquake in Japan,” Intel spokesman Jon Carvill said.

Top hard drive makers Western Digital and Seagate both have factories in Thailand, where flooding has killed at least 320 people since July and devastated industrialized areas in the center of the country.

Western Digital’s factories are closed and Seagate, while its plants are running, warns it could face parts shortages.

Apple chief executive Steve Cook this week told analysts on a conference call he expects an industry shortage of disk drives.

PC production may be in jeopardy

Intel on Tuesday said the flooding would not affect the PC market in the fourth quarter.

Since then, details about the damage to Western Digital’s factories in Thailand have caused some analysts to believe a shortage of hard drives could start interfering with PC production in December.

“There’s a major disconnect here. We don’t see how they can not be affected and we’re recommending investors avoid Intel at these levels,” said Brad Gastwirth, co-founder of ABR Investment Strategy, an independent research firm.

Western Digital said Thailand accounts for 60 percent of drive production. Its customers have about two weeks of inventory on hand and distributors have around four weeks of supplies.

As those inventories get used up, the supply of hard drives may be about 10 percent less than demand for the December quarter, estimated Rodman & Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar.

With production in Thailand likely to be constrained for several weeks, customers will face larger shortages in early 2012, IHS iSuppli analyst Fang Zhang said.

No. 2 PC maker Dell said the flood would have little impact on its quarter ending this month but did not say how it expected to be impacted beyond then.

A Hewlett-Packard spokesman declined to comment.
