Outlook 2003 will no longer start

[homeboy]

I get the following error:

"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window.
The set of folders could not be opened. The server is not available.
Contact your administrator if this condition persists."


I have tried repairing outlook, uninstalling outlook and reinstalling
outlook. I suspect that their is some registry setting that is forcing
outlook to look for a directory that is not present. How do I correct this
problem so that Outlook can run?

Thanks in advance.

running in windows 2003 native AD domain with pst file backed up on file
server. Ran "scanpst.exe" on both copies; file was too corrupted to get any
of my last six month's worth of e-mails. Servers me right for leaving the
default setting on the archive files. I now have it set to archive every
seven days.
