'the operation failed' error window in outlook 2003?

[Heidi]

Every time when I open Outlook I get an error message 'the operation failed'
that goes away after a second but the progam does not open either. I have to
click on the icon a second time and the program opens right away.
I have all the latest updates including servicepack 2

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Any help would be appreciated.
