    Error message Outlook 2003 on Win7


    Hello,

    Can anyone help please? I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and have just installed Office 2003. Outlook aloowed me to set up an account with my POP 3 server. But when I try to open Outlook I get this message ;-

    Unable to open your default email 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 have read that Office 2003 does work on Windows 7. I have it on my old pc with XP, and I want to export/import all my emails and addresses.

    Thanks
