Outlook 2003 won't configure for the first time

[Jonathan]

Every time I try to startup outlook 2003 for the first time it opens and
shows a small window in the top left saying, configuring outlook
account_creating welcome message. Then an other box opens telling me my
Microsoft Exchange server is unavilable giving me the options to retry_work
offline_cancel. Retry dose nothing work offline brings up another box telling
me unable to open default email folder. this is the first time im opening
outlook 2003 and this is a stand alone computer. Please Help

Remove the reference to the Exchange Server in the Control Panel's Mail
applet.
