It was 1 month ago when I had my first brush with the SE W960i’s Messaging problem. As discovered then, the problem is related to the phone’s Contacts. After fiddling with it for a month, I finally found a permanent solution to the problem.

First of all, here are the possible symptoms of the Contact/Messaging problem:

The cause of all the above symptoms is you have contacts saved in your SIM card. To fix the problems, remove all contacts from your SIM card and reboot your phone.
To do this on the SonyEricsson W960i, go to Contacts -> More -> View folder -> SIM. After that, More -> Mark -> Mark all and then More -> Delete. Now all you have to do is reboot your phone and all your problems will be gone forever (hopefully).

This morning Outlook gave me a big scare. Nope, it didn’t deliver a particularly nasty email, but it crashed as soon as it started. Here’s a look at the nasty error message:

No amount of begging and coaxing would make Outlook start normally, so I started Outlook on Safe Mode and after it managed to start without error, ended it in hopes that it will fix whatever stuff that is wrong when the program quits. And guess what? It did.

So, for anyone who encounters the above error, the first thing you can do before trying the myriad of troubleshooting suggestions found on the internet, give Outlook a chance to fix itself by starting it in Safe Mode. To start Outlook on Safe Mode go to Start -> Run and type:
outlook /safe
