been able to recreate that prompt that gives me a CHOICE!!

Which "choice" was that?

Start REGEDIT and look for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\O utlook See what the value
is for "FirstRun". Does it say True or False? You can try switching it to
see if that makes any difference.

If you still can't get started, you should probably remove Outlook from your
Office setup via Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, reboot, then add it
back to your Office setup. When you start Outlook after that, it should
create a fresh, first-run profile that will let you move on.
