I have attempted to upgrade to outlook 2002 from Outlook
2000 at least 5 times!
(1)Each time I get a message unable to open default email
folders.
(2) .dll file could not be found
(3) Unable to load PSTPRX.dll
(4) I have to accept opening default folder or the
program will not open.
(5) I am unable to open any folder, (inbox, Sent mail,
Contacts etc)
(6) I can look up the .pst file I need and it is there
and will work fine when I reInstall Outlook 2000.
(7) Outlook 2003 does not pickup accounts, profile. I see
the names of folders Imoved to the outlook bar in Outlook
2000 but they cannot be opened... Any help would be very
much appreciated.

Pstprx.dll"

CAUSE:
This problem can occur because Outlook 2002 upgraded the
profile once and set a registry key that specifies not to upgrade
the profile again. When you revert to Outlook 2000 IMO,
choose to use the current profile, and upgrade to Outlook 2002
again, that profile is skipped during the upgrade process.

I have seen this when a pre-exising profile was on the
machine when you performed the upgrade. I believe that
the XP registry wants you to use the PST that is created in a
"hidden" location. However your existing profile was using
a PST that is located somewhere else. (confusing?)

WORKAROUND:
To work around this behavior, manually create a profile
for Outlook 2002. To do this:
Close Outlook 2002.
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Mail.
Click Show Profiles, click Add, name the profile, and then
click OK.
Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
Click a type of account, and then click Next.
In the E-mail Accounts dialog box, enter the necessary
information, and then click Next.
Click Finish.
If the Always use this profile option is selected, select the
profile that you just created, and then click OK.
