Missing Outlook.pst message

[Rob]

I have had Office XP for a year. I upgraded to Windows XP
last week. I hated it and uninstalled it, reverting back
to Windows ME, but not before I messed up Outlook. So I
uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook. I am getting the
message "the file C:\WINDOWS\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst could not be found." I
think I have inadvertently erased this file somehow. I was
hoping that by doing so, the disk would just reinstall all
of Outlook, but it seems to keep looking for these missing
files. Stupid, I know. How do I get it to reinstall
Outlook back to a fresh original state?

Go to Control Panel -> Mail. Then delete your current Outlook profile
and create a new one.
