Reinstalling probably wouldn't fix this particular problem. Try starting
Outlook once with the /resetnavpane command switch.

I had the same problem, that fix worked, but I have to do it every time I
open Outlook. Is there a permanent fix?

Just once should do the job.

Great solution. I had this problem, too. Nothing worked until I
tried the /resertnavpane switch, which resolved the issue. Thank you.
