Outlook 2003 won't start
I have exactly the same problem. I can't believe there's no solution for
this. What other avenue is there for getting this resolved?

Outlook 2003 won't start
I had a similar problem where the types of files that can be added is blank
or contains none that related to personal folders or PST files or such. I found the only solution was to uninstall all Microsoft Office Software via Add Remove Programs (or similar in Vista). Then reboot - Then reinstall the microsoft office programs you need. Repairs and other recovery options were not sufficient. Note on one HP product I had to install and uninstall 3 times in total to recover this. You will also need to delete the mail profile via the mail icon in control panel and remake it again.
