Outlook 97 in Windows XP won't run

[PJH]

Good day all ...

When I run Outlook 97 in Windows XP it fails at a fault window which occurs
when at: "Please wait while Outlook builds the Outlook bar". This leads to a
MS fault report window which states error signature as follows:

AppName: outlook.exe AppVer: 8.3.1.4629 ModName: user32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1255 Offset: 0001d231

Outlook always used to run fine in Win XP before, but I had to fit a new
hard disc after a crash and reinstall Windows XP.

Anyone any ideas how to get round this. I've twice uninstalled Office 97
completely as directed in MS KB 254250 - OFF97 How to Completely Remove
Office 97 on Windows XP. The same fault occurs on reinstalling and running.

Thanks ...
PJH
