    Outlook 2003 Install Error
    « on: November 20, 2009, 03:09:56 PM »
    I have been trying to Install Outlook 2003 on an ACER desktop computer running XP-Pro.

    I continually get the error show in the attachment.

    I tried deleting Outlook, then using Outlook Express I could get the email working. then I reinstalled Outlook from the client apps on our server (as I done before) but no luck.

    Any ideas?

      ERROR MESSAGE:
       
      "Unable to open your default e-mail forlders.  Outlook could not start because a data file ot send and recieve mail could not be found.  To add a data file, such as a personal folder file, double-click the Mail icon in Windows Control Panel."

      I have tried this and cannot create a new folder.

        Thanks for the information.

        I finally had a chance to access the computer in question and the fix worked.

        Thanks again.
