Outlook XP (2002): "Unable to open default eamil folders."

[dave_in_dallas]

Running Windows XP/SP3. Office XP. Had a system crash, ran recovery utility,
re-installed Office XP. All programs open and work EXCEPT Outlook. Problem 1)
Can't open any OFFICE program using taskbar icon or Start Menu icon, can
start by doing Start>Programs>Excel (or whatever)--but this is a minor
annoyance. When I attempt to start Outlook, it looks like it starts to open
the window, but then I get the message, "Unable to open default email
folders". I get no further than this. Have uninstalled and re-installed
Office a couple of times. Ran Office XP update. Nothing.
I did un-install the trial version of Office 2003 before the OXP install.
Now that I think about it, Outlook 2003 version worked, but I didn't want to
use that for some reason, which I don't recall. I want OXP (2002) back
please. Thank you.
