Well, it's now my turn with a brand new Dell.

The issue is that MS Outlook will not open.

The problem developed after I made a huge error by bringing all the files under "documents and settings" over from the old machine. Wrong move. I should have moved "my documents".

In any case, the programs confused each other and I was left with a rather large disaster. I deleted what I could, but some programs would not appear in the program list although they were definitely on the machine.

After about six hours, I got everything working again except Outlook. So, I removed Office 2007 and reloaded it. Same issue. "Cannot open file". Tried another removal and reinstallation with the same result. Word, Powerpoint, and Excel all work fine.

Anybody with an idea before I call the morons?
