Should I reinstall Outlook?

[Dave]

I have a problem with Outlook. I have a MSN account so I also have Outlook
Connector. A week ago I had a problem with my email. All my past email was
no longer there just empty folders. I went to Microsoft Discussion Group and
ask how to recover my old emails, but never got a reply. If I went to
Windows Live and look at the emails they were all still there. After a few
days I decided to try something, I removed my MSN account then reinstalled
it. All my old emails are now there, but I have messed up my calendar and
rules. I set up a rule, but they will not run unless I do it manually. When
I try to schedule a date on the calendar I get this error: The reminder for
(Subject) will not appear because the item is not in your calendar or task
folder. Is this OK? When I go to Outlook Today there is nothing in the
Calendar, I believe this is because Outlook is no longer using the calendar
that is associated with my msn.com account. Other than completely removing
Office how can I fix this.

No, reinstall won't help.

The error message indicates you have two calendars and the one you are
making appointments in is not your default calendar.

go to file, data file management and set the msn account to be the default
data file.

Thank I did find out the problem a couple of days ago. However when I sent
the question in I did click Notify me of replies, but I never got an email
that there was a reply.
