I'm trying to install Office XP. The system had a trial copy of Office 2003,
so I uninstalled, but not before using Outlook - unfortunately it appears.

I can start all the other Office applications, but not Outlook. I get the
following message:

Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Unable to display the selected folder or
item. Could not open the item. Try again.

I tried opening Mail from the control panel and configuring the location of
the .PST file, but that doesn't make any difference.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and also run repair.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Mike
 
Thanks. The only tweak I needed was that I had to start Outlook with the new
profile. Setting to request the profile on startup generated the same
message.

Now I'm up and running again!!
