I had this problem when Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 is
installed alongside Outlook 2003. To fix it i uninstalled Business
Contact
Manager then opened Mail in Control Panel to add a data file.

Just an update on this. I followed pretty much the same workflow, with the
same results, i.e. still unable to launch Outlook. I have finally given up
on this and found an alternative solution.

As an FYI, what I was trying to do is have Outlook on my home laptop so that
my wife could access my (work) Outlook calendar using a PDA to sync between
both laptops:

Outlook on my work laptop - Active Sync - PDA - Active Sync- Outlook on
my home laptop.

The other solution that we tried (but also didn't work) was (she uses
Microsoft Entourage on her work laptop - a Mac):

Outlook on my work laptop - Active Sync - PDA - PocketMac - Entourage.

After buying PocketMac, I also couldn't get it work, and eventually asked
for a refund. The solution that we finally adopted was:

Outlook on my work laptop - Google Sync - my Google calendar - share -
her Google calendar.

Works just fine. Not sure what's wrong with Outlook on my home laptop.
