Customize Outlook Today in Outlook 2000

I have been unable to Customize Outlook Today. I followed the directions in KB Article 820575 and was able to activate the "Customize . . ." button, but when I try to save the changes, Outlook crashes. The default address (file name) under Outlook Today - Properties - Home Page is "res://D:\MSOffice\Office\1033\outlwvw.dll/outlook3.htm" and this box as well as the "Browse . ." and "Set Default " buttons are all grayed out. The "Outlook3.htm" file does not exist anywhere on my hard drives. I have recopied the "outlwvw.dll" file from the CD as suggested in another KB Article. Any suggestions? Thanks.

you can edit the page via the registry-
