Outlook 2002

[Chief V]

I just replaced my hard drive and when I try to open Outlook 2002 the
following happens, in this order:
"Unable to open your default e-mail folders. Could not open the item. Try
again"

I click ok and get:
"Would you like to open your default File System folder instead?"

I click "yes" and get:
Runtime Error
Program C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Outlook.exe

I click "okay" and it shuts down. Any tips??
The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Create a new mail profile and configure it to use your current .pst file.

Thanks, Milly. I just finished creating the new mail profile. I don't know
how to configure it to use the current .pst file, and after creating the
profile I got the same error messages as before except with the tilde in the
file path:
Program C:\Progra~1\Micros~2\Office10\Outlook.exe

Any other tips?

Thanks, Milly. I just finished creating the new mail profile. I
don't know how to configure it to use the current .pst file,

Use the Data Files button in the Mail applet.
