Cannot get Outlook 7 to Open

[AR]

Have brand new computer, OS Windows 7, new package of MS Enterprise. All
programs registered. Outlook will not open - it is caught in a cycle of
wanting info that is not available.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've tried all of the "obvious" but with a
new pc and system, am trying to learn my way around and am getting really
frustrated.
Having read some of the other probs/solutions, would this work:
install Outlook 2003, run and accept any updates. Then upgrade to Outlook
2007?

If there is an easy (ier) way, please let me know. But please explain in
detail where to look - I'm really having trouble finding my way around this
new system... I'm guessing it is Windows 7 that is so different (vs XP.)
As a note, I've spent the past week accepting upgrades to all the software
from MS - for the entire MS Enterprise package and the Windows 7. It was just
today - this morning - I tried to open Outlook.
Thanksk
AR

" it is caught in a cycle of wanting info that is not available." This
tells us nothing. Please be specific and tell us what error messages happen
and the EXACT text.

Did you use easy transfer or create a fresh new profile?
