Outlook situations

[jacsdad]

A week ago, I had to rebuild my Operating System [Windows XP Pro with SP 3].
Since doing so, Outlook has been behaving strangely and I would like to
remove it and reinstall or if it can be fixed, learn how:

RSS Feeds – before rebuilding and on a different computer, when the RSS
Feeds folder was clicked [not opened} the website:
http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidOutlookRSS?clid=1033was displayed and
gave a detailed list of available feeds. This is no longer functioning. Can
it be fixed?

My Contacts – I have two folders: Contacts and Contacts in Personal Folders.
I can I delete the “Contacts†and always use the “Contacts in Personal
Foldersâ€. After each system shutdown, the “Contacts†folder becomes the
default and I must manually switch them.

Calendar – the Calendar view also shows two entries but allows on to be
checked. This works great so not really a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Got a version for that Outlook? When you click File>Data File Management, how
many data stores do you see?

Brian... this is Office 2007.

There are two. On in my doc and settings, the other in my d:\pst which is
the location of my daily backup

Which of the two is marked as the default? I'm unsure why you'd have your
backup PST included in the mail profile as an active PST.

Brian... I followed instructions from another post when I received an error
on insufficient authority to a pst.

Is there a way to remove just outlook and reinstall it?

There is, but I don't believe that would cure the problem you see. In Control
Panel's Add/Remove Programs, select the Office product, click Change, uncheck
Outlook, and click Update.
