Problem with Microsoft Office Outlook

[James]

Hi,
I have a problem opening up Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

When I try opening the program, the following error message shows up.

"Cannot start microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The
set of folders cannot be opened. The file
C:\Users\James\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst is not a personal
folders file.

Any help regarding this issue would be really helpful.
Thank you.
-James

Did it still work yesterday?
Did you change anything since then?
Try scanning your pst-file for errors with scanpst.exe
See http://www.msoutlook.info/question/77

Try the Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe located in %ProgramFIles%\Microsoft
Office\Office12). If that doesn't work, then you'll need to restore a backup
copy. You di make backups of your PST, don't you?

Stupid since their software doesn't work to start with.

Outlook 2007 works perfectly on Vista for me.

P.S. It's just a pity MS do not offer direct support anymore.

Support is free for 90 days starting with the first call when you purchase a
new product.
