First of all after many attempts of deleting my programs. Both the Microsoft
Outlook 2000, Outlook 2003, and also the Outlook Connector. I finally was
able to install the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. But now when attempting
to open the program I receive an error message that says:
Cannot open your default email folders. Microsoft office Outlook exited
with out properly closing your Outlook data file. ' C:\Documents and
Settings/ ..... Microsoft\Outlook\name_msn2.ost'. Microsoft Office Outlook
must be resarted. If this error message recurs contact support for microsoft
office outlook for assistance. Can you help please?

I did find a link that told me to do a scan and repair of corrupted outlook
data files. But during the scan I receive another error message that says it
must shut down and no changes were made. Attemping to do that more than once
and it continued till 100% done but came back again saying it was with no
changes made.

What can I do now? Please make a suggestion. I can not even get Outlook to
open without an immediate message and it's a vicious cirlce... Thank you for
your suggestions, I appreciate anything you can do to help as I have been
working at this all day.
 
Are you actually using an Exchange connection?
If not what type of connection, eg pop mail or?
 
That is your msn offline message store. Go to control panel, mail and make a
new profile.
 
WOW you are fabulous! Thanks so much! I am downloading all my previous files
now.

I may require more help when I update my deskltop PC since I attempted to
update this only on our laptop first. Will I need to do the same steps with
my PC regarding eliminating all the previous versions of Microsoft Outlook
and Outlook Connector before I install the upgrade of 2007? Or can I attempt
to run the disk without all of those steps as I had to do with my laptop?

Thank you again for a great Mothers Day gift!
 
I would uninstall the older version of outlook first - it makes for less
work if it doesn't get uninstalled correctly.
