I have been having the same problems for weeks in my Outlook 2003 and did
all the suggested "fixes" in the microsoft article. Could someone explain
to
me in simple terms how to execute this fix above posted? I don't
understand
what I am supposed to do after reading this. I feel like I am so close to
fixing the problem!

Click StartRun. In the Open field enter "regedit" and click OK. In the
left-hand pane, expand "My Computer". Expand "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", then
"Software", then "Microsoft", then "Windows", then "CurrentVersion", then
"Explorer". Click on "User Shell Folders". In the right-hand pane you'll
now see several keys. One of them (it should be the topmost one) should be
"AppData" and it should have the value "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data" on
WIndows XP and "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming" on Windows Vista. If the key
exists, you're finished and this isn't the cause of the problem. If the key
doesn't exist, right-click EditNewExpandable String Value. Name the key
AddData. Now double-click AppData and enter the proper string (no quotes).
Click OK and close regedit. Reboot your PC.
