Microsoft Outlook Startup Question

[lay the wood2]

WHEN I CLICK ON THE MICROSOFT OUTLOOK THE INITIAL OUTLOOK BOX COMES ONTO THE SCREEN BUT THEN IT SEEMS LIKE THE PROGRAM FREEZES AND I CAN NOT GET INTO THE PROGRAM. I HAVE TRIED TO DETECT AND REPAIR AND THAT DOESNT WORK AND I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO RESTART THE COMPUTER. THIS HAS NOT WORKED EITHER.
HAS ANYONE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM OR KNOW ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS?

THANKS
