I have the same error "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the
Outlook window. Invalid XML, the view cannot be loaded." I have tried system
restore, but can't go back past 5 days and it's been acting up longer then
that. I tried the switch and /resetnavpane switch and Outlook /cleanreminders
and still the same error and some of these produced wrong path errors. When I
copied the path I get the first error again.

The /resetnavpane switch should fix it. If you received an error when you
tried it, you specified the command inproperly. Make sure you include a space
between "outlook.exe" and "/resetnavpane".

Start>Run (or Search)>outlook.exe /resetnavpane

(note the space).

And make sure outlook is closed before running the switch- look in task
manager, processes tab to verify.

Please enter the below command in the run command dialog box

Outlook.exe /resetnavpane

provide space only before the "/" character

If Outlook.exe /safe or Outlook.exe /resetnavpane commands are not working
for you, you can try creating new profile in your outlook .
