When I start Entourage I get a dialog box that says this identity can not be
opened with this version of Entourage. This just happened two days ago but
worked for the past 4 years. What should I do?

Did you just do a re-install of Office?

"This Identity Cannot Be Opened With This Version of Entourage"
This message usually means, for example, that Entourage is at 11.0, but the
saved database was saved in a more updated version. Since there was a
database format change in there, Entourage 11.0 cannot open a database
saved in later version.

Microsoft does not update each application every time an update is released.
See ³Confused over Microsoft Update Version numbers?³ for a handy script
that gives you the Office application¹s version info.
