Outlook 2000 - "Operation Failed"

[Duncan Findlay]

Hi:

I purchased a new computer and went from Windows ME to Windows XP Home. I
had to reinstall the MS Office Professional 2000 including Outlook. All
other programs are working fine, but not Outlook. When I try to open it, a
message appears, "Operation failed". Outlook Express is working fine, too,
but I cannot locate any of my previous "Contacts". My ".PST file", which is
over 74,000 KB is located in the directory C:\Outlook and appears to have
all my contacts, e-mails, e-mail addresses, calendar, etc. in it.

Can you help me.

Thanks,

Duncan

Hi:

Some further info. In Control Panel>Mail, when I click it, it does not open.
I wonder if that has any bearing on my problem since "Mail" includes
"Microsoft Outlook Profiles"?

Thanks,

Duncan
