"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window.
The set of folders could not be opened. The server is not available. Contact
your administrator if this condition persists."

Does anyone have a quick-fix for this? Everything was fineuntil my
anti-virus detected a virus. I don't even know if it had anything to do with
my Outlook. And who would be my 'administrator'? Is that my ISP?

Thanks in advance!
 
see if you can create anew profile via the Mail icon in Control Panel and
start Outlook with that profile.
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Mail icon.
3. In the Mail Setup dialog box, click Show Profiles.

If you want to be able to select a specific profile each time you
start Outlook, click the General tab, click Prompt for a profile to be used,
and then click Add.
4. In the New Profile dialog box, under Profile Name, type a
descriptive name for the new profile, and then click OK.
5. In the E-mail Accounts dialog box, select Add a new e-mail account
in the e-mail options, and then click Next.
6. Click the type of server that your e-mail account works with, and
then click Next.
7. Complete all of the required fields, including those that are on
the tabs that appear after you click More Settings.
8. When you finish providing the required information, click Finish.
