Rebuilt the data base, same problem?
Tried to make new Identity, but Entourage crashes to quickly to make any switch?
Removed data base to desktop and started Entourage hoping to just download everything from the server, Entourage locks up before download even starts?
Used the remove office tool and removed Office 08 and then reloaded Office 08, did all the updates, same problem with Entourage, locks up after starting?
Rebuilt data base again, same problem?

Hi Tim!

Copy your Microsoft User Data folder to a different Mac OS X user account and see if the problem persists. This will help determine if the problem is with your Database or with your user account.

Locate the "Microsoft User Data" folder in the Documents folder of your home folder. Copy this folder to /Users/Shared.

Create a new Mac OS X user account under Apple menu --> System Preferences... --> Accounts. Then switch to that account.

Copy the Microsoft User Data folder in /Users/Shared and copy it to the Documents folder of your new Mac OS X account.

Launch Entourage and see if the problem continues.
