Try starting Outlook with the /resetnavpane switch.
Start-> type; outlook.exe /resetnavpane

If that doesn't work see;

Robert,

It worked like a charm, thank you very much. Out of curiosity, may I ask
you, what went wrong?

Thanks again.

There appears to be a recent update that corrupts the XML file that controls
the Navigation Pane view. The /resetnavpane command switch regenerates the
file from scratch.
