Well, I encountered a hiccup! In the help file I used it stated that one
could delete the .pst file created when the new profile was created. I did
so. I just returned to the profile to remove the 'new' data file & a dialog
box opened with the following info:

"You cannot delete this data file. Configuration information in the file is
being copied to your new default data file. You can delete the file after
this information is copied."

Perhaps I can remove after a reboot?

Thanks much Kathleen! Other than creating a new profile do you know of any
other methods to overcome this dreaded issue?!

I am desperately trying to locate Diane Poremsky [MVP] who had replied
to
another user (below) re making a new profile or another MVP, or anyone
that
can help! My original, unanswered post follows. Thanks!

Diane--
Your suggestion re making a new profile as I have a different issue in
that
I'm using OL 2007 on Vista Ultimate, not Win 7, & have encountered out
of
the
blue the dreaded 'out of memory or system resources' issue. I saw you
respond
to someone using Win 7 & had my issue via Google but I couldn't find
the
thread here. Anyway, can you provide me wth specific stepwise
instructions
on
your suggestion of "adding the old pst file to the new profile before
opening
Outlook." I did try this by highlighting my troublesome profile in the
Mail
applet but it simply created a new profile with no info from the old
profile
(.pst file). So obviously I'm missing something or there are extra
steps.
BTW, I've run Office Diagnostics with no errors reported & have run
scanpst.exe on the file & it did find errors & repaired them but it
didn't
resolve the issue. Thanks much!

I would go to control panel, mail and make a new profile using a

new name. Add the old pst file to the new profile before opening
Outlook.
If you get errors when you try to add it, the backup process may
have
damaged the pst. Run scanpst on it and try to repair it or get
another
copy
from the backup.
