After wasting many days and many brain cells, I FINALLY broke down and bought the "Advanced Outlook Repair" tool (at the tune of $249.95!!!!) - and it WORKED perfectly!!!! It restored all of my files, contacts, history, calendars, sharepoint lists, BCM, archives, and even my backups BEAUTIFULLY - just as if nothing ever happened! I opened Outlook (2007) and it was all just there, like before the reformat of Vista.... :-) I would recommend the tool to anyone, as a last resort, because it is expensive, but it works!

Most of the time, it is the iTunes plug in but there are other plug-ins that can cause problems too. I have disabled all of the plug-ins except for my anti-virus and everything has worked perfectly for 2 weeks now. All you have to do is go to tools, then trust center, and then add-ins, and then manage add-ins. Disable all of them except for your anti-virus and you should be set after that.
