"Configure Outlook Today" button is not working

[jbogart]

We got a new office computer. I got Office 200 installed on the new
computer, and got the data (contacts, tasks, etc) transferred and all the
programs are running correctly - except for one function of Outlook.

The tasks in the Personal Folder - Outlook Today are showing tasks from the
entire task list. Previously, this had been controlled by clicking on the
"Configure Outlook Today" button. Now, when the button is clicked, nothing
happens.

I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the software - and
that didn't change anything.

any ideas?

Widely publicised issue. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/820575/en-us

And it won't. See this for other ways to modify the Outlook Today screen:
