Did you have a particular question? Your post is rather short on details.

Default bypass migration in startup outlook 2003

Dear mind reader, Here goes. I opted to detect and repair MS Office 2003
after several attempts to clear 3 recurring appointment reminders that kept
popping up. Not having any luck with retaining my current settings, I redid
the above opting to reset to default settings. Then the issue occurred.
opening Outlook it decided to go through its initiation startup phase of
"Migration of settings" etc. The Outlook profile screen appears. I then click
open and receive the following error, "unable to open your default e-mail
folders. Outlook could not start because a data file to send and receive
could not be found. To add a data file, such as a personal folder file,
double-click on the mail icon in the windows control panel." There was an
error locating one of the items needed to complete this operation. It might
have been deleted."

After all of the above appeared, I re-installed Microsoft Office complete.
But no change. All updates are installed.

Operating WinXPPRO sp2 w/all updates.

Thank you

I did that and followed all of the procedures and could not find any
profiles or create any that would allow me to access the Outlook.pst file or
any other I have. Also I ran scanpst.exe on my pst file to fix any
corruption, still to no avail.

When attempting to create a new profile, I receive the following error, "

You thought none of that information might me relevant? You used "Detect and
Repair" to clear reminders? Next time just start Outlook with the
/cleanreminders switch.
Everything else you have done since then amounts to vivisection. Not sure
how you can recover. I don't have the time right now to figure out how to
undo the damage you have done. I do hope you back up your data. In the
meantime, state why you can't create a new profile besides "

What steps did you follow to create the new profile? Try manually configuring everything.

locating one of the items needed to complete this operation. It might have
been deleted." Then if I close the profile creator and go back in the
profile name exists but does not show any access to any data files.

I did what the manual and all the other KB issues recommend. I have
everything backed up, so I am unconcerned about reattaching the .psr files
that I need. I guess all I really need is a clean installation. If that
means moving all of my pst's or other and un-installing office, then clean
installing it so that I don't get hung up trying to initialize outlook, so be
it. If that will work.

Thanks for following this with me
