unable to start outlook 2003

I set up Outlook and my email account details, and Outlook's test message was received successfully (by Windows Live Mail).

But then when I tried to start Outlook, I got this error message:
Microsoft Office Outlook
Unable to open your default e-mail folders. "Outlook could not start because a data file to send and receive mail could not be found. To add a data file, such as a personal folder file, double-click the Mail icon in Windows Control Panel".

I tried this but the only options open to me were modifying the mail settings I'd just set, or
Change settings for the files Outlook uses to
store e-mail messages and documents.

When I tried this by clicking the Data Files button there was no pst file listed. When I clicked Add, it is empty.

I am using window 7 32bit.
