I just installed Outlook 2002 on my new laptop. Now the
rest of Office XP works fine, but when I open Outlook it
says it can't find the default email folder and goes to
the default system folder. I want to start checking my
email, but I can't do it. I use the same Outlook on all
other computers in my home, but for some reason it won't
work on this one. What's going on?

Try creating a new mail profile here: Control Panel->Mail Icon->Show
Profiles.
