Cannot open MS Outlook 2003

[Guest]

I rerceive the following error: Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.
Unable to open Outlook window. The set of folders could not be opened. The
server is not available.

I have created a new user going through Control panel, mail, etc. I have
also taken other advise to go to repair in Add or Remove programs. And
lastly, I have uninstalled it and loaded it again.

Does anyone have any other ideas.

You may have a corrupted outcmd.dat file. This is the file that stores your
toolbar customizations, and when it becomes corrupted, Outlook can't use it
at startup to build your toolbars, thus causing the hangups. Try renaming or
deleting your outcmd.dat file while Outlook is closed. Renaming it might be
the best idea if you have a lot of customizations that you'd prefer not to
lose; that way if renaming the file doesn't solve your problem, you may be
able to restore it later when you do get Outlook working properly again.

Note: If you're using Windows 2000 or XP, you'll need to search in hidden
and system folders to find the outcmd.dat file.
