Outlook won't run...It tells me "your profile is not configured"

[plur4k]

I just installed Office 2003, and I cannot run Outlook. I first get a dialog
box that says, "your Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable". When I click
Work Offline, it says, "Unable to open your default e-mail folders. Your
profile is not configured", then it shuts down without letting me configure
anything. can anyone help me with this? thanks

Are you using an Exchange server? If not, delete your profile and create a
new one using your correct account type.
