Outlook 2007 will not launch after install

[Eric91Z]

I recently purchased the Standard Office 2007 so that I could have a valid
copy of Office, and particularly Outlook on my machine. I ran the install
with no errors and re-booted.

When I launch Outlook it starts to bring the Outlook window up and then a
smaller window comes up on top with the following:

Configuring Outlook (along the blue bar at the top)
Migrating Account Settings
Migrating Preferences
Importing User Date

And then it just sits. If you click on that window or the Outlook window
you get the "(Not Responding)" and have to shut down the window. That is all
the further it will ever get.

Starting to get a little frustrated as my old Outlook worked great until it
wouldn't update any more. So I bought a brand new valid version. I have
uninstalled the old Office XP Professional that was on there. I have
uninstalled and re-installed the Office 2007. I have ran a repair on it.
Still not working.

Any other ideas? I would really like to get this up and running again so I
can go back to using Outlook for my email on my @msn.com account as I hate
using the website for emails. Plus, I can't sort in my .pst files that I
have had for years with lots of data in there.

Any help would be appreciated.
