Outlook 2003 will not start

This problem has just seemed to manifest overnight. When I try to start up
Outlook 2003 I get the following error message:



"Unable to open Office Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window. The
set of folders could not be opened."



I am using Outlook 2003 and Office XP. Everything has been working without
issues for 6-8 months. I am connected to an Exchange Server. My co-worked,
who is running Outlook XP, can access my mailbox from his computer. I
haven't installed anything on my computer that last few weeks.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,



Mike
 
Running in Cached Exchange Mode? Rename your ost-file to .old to have it
resync.

Otherwise; recreate your mail profile in Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show

I've tried running in both Cached Mode and not in Cached Mode. I've
recreated my profile countless time as well with no luck. I have even
completely uninstalled and reinstalled in twice with out making a
difference.

When I create a new profile should I use Cached Mode? I think I have tried
every combination of settings without change. Is there something I am
missing?

Thanks,

Mike

Cached mode shouldn't make a difference in connectivity.

Can you ping the Exchange server by FQDN? When you loggon to another
computer with Outlook 2003 can you connect succesfully then?
