Vista Control Panel Missing "Mail" icon

[Dburbage]

On my brand new Vista machine, I attempted to install Office 2003 a
first step. Everything Worked but Outlook. It reported Unable to ope
default e-mail folders; info store won't open". I found a foru
suggestion that began with clicking on the Control Panel Mail icon. M
Control Panel has no MAIL icon! What do I do now

In your brand new PC did you first uninstall any Trial version of Office
together with its Activation Assistant, then reboot prior to installing your
retail version?

Enable classic View of Control panel, or 32bit view of Vista 64 bit

DL,
I'm sure I did not do that completely nor in the right order, so I jus
tried again by uninstalling the Activation Assistant, rebooting, an
reinstalling Office 2003. I received the exact same message, "Unabl
to open your default e-mail folders. The information store could not b
opened."
I re-checked the e-mail profiles and they are as I left them, with
new one and the original one.
More thoughts?
Sorry for being away for two days. I was OOT.
