Major problems with Outlook 2007 upgrading Office 2003 to Office 2007

Hi all,

This morning I upgraded my Windows XP SP2 system that had Office 2003
(Italian language) to Office 2007 (English or multi-language?)


During the installation I said to keep the previous Office 2003
installation except Outlook (because otherwise I could not install
the
2007 version).
On my previous system I had 3 .PST files (an archive one, and 2
"personal folders"), one of the is huge (3.91GB).

I read on another post that .PST file bigger than 2Gb can be a
problem. It was not for me with Outllok 2003. In fact I doubt that
the
problem I have is related with the big file.
BTW, why doesn't Outlook recognize that the file is becoming to big
and don't signal it and, even better, run a wizard to split the data
in 2 files?

The installation was fast.

After the upgrade I opened Outlook and it upgraded.
I had the problem that one of the .PST was not in the system, so I
easily added it.


Now I still have 3 major problems:
1)
Send/Receive does NOT work. When I click it, it says "Outlook cannot
start because a data file to send and receive mail annot be found. To
add a data file, such as a personal folder file, double.click the
Mail
Icon in the Windows Control Panel" I try to do that and my 3 .pst are
there.


Furthermore, if I click of receiving email just from an account
(Send/
Receive - "My account" Only) I received 2 messages on receiveing and
sending: "...reported error (0x8004010F): "The operation failed. An
object cannot be found." :-(


If I click on "Tools - Account Setting" I can see all my 7 accounts
and I can change them if I want. Testing them ("Testing account
Setting..." button) they work. However when I click "Change Folder"
button and I select a folder and click OK I get the message: "An
unknown error occurred, error code: 0x8000ffff"


2)

The rules (I had more that 30) has not been imported. If I click
on "Tools - Rules and Alerts" the dialog that show up has no rule in
the "E.amil Rules" tab. Even worse every button is GRAY (Even "New
Rules..." and "Option"). I want my rules back!


3)

Activesync doesn't work. I upgraded from 4.1 to 4.5 trying to solve
the problem. but still has problems: red exclamation mark. It says
"Calendar, Contact, Tasks, Notes: attention required". And there is
not really anything I can do about that.

I want to get back to Outllok 2003 or better to make it work. I can
do
some registry editing if necessary but I need some help!!!!


Thank you in advance,


-Cris
