Default Outlook has locked on the enter microsoftexchange server and mail

I have made a mistake configuring my office setup, but I am now unable to get
past the window asking for Microsoft exchange server and mailbox information.
I have entered what I believe is the aol MS server and my address but this
receives an error messgae saying must be connected to continue. I can not go
back before this screen and start again and each time I re-load Outlook I get
the same message screen. I have deleted all of office and reinstalled, but
still start on the same screen message!

Help

If you are not using Exchange, but a pop/smtp mail system
Use the mail applet in the control panel to;
Remove the profile
Create a new Profile
Set up accounts using pop

PS removing/reinstalling OL/Office rarely fixes problems

What can I enter into the Microsoft server box that will allow me to get back
into outlook and change the information that has been previously loaded?
every time i enter anything into the server box and then password I get a a
box which tells me that that outllok must be connected to continue and then
it closes down and exits outlook.

Did you use the mail applet, via the control Panel ?
(with OL closed)

Create a new profile from Control panel, Mail, not within Outlook.
