Default Unable to import account settings -blocks start of Outlook


Have tried all of the options to no avail.
Also tried to completely de-install and install
Outlook 2002 again. Still the 'configuring Outlook'
appears , and then 'Task failed', when it tries to 'move
accounts' (from where ?) . Switched to a completely new
profile, and moved the Outlook.pst file to another
location. Still ,the error persists .How can I enable
full logging , so that information on the source of the
error can be found ?

All the Toolbars

Outlook . The default

Settings\Application

Start-> Run window.
