Default Error: OE Could not be started

Did you recently upgrade from Microsoft Office 2003 to Microsoft Office 2007?
Because I'm having the same problem and that's been my only change.

I also get the message:

Outlook Express could not be started. The application was unable to open the
Outlook Express message store. Your computer may be out of memory or your
disk is full. Contact Microsoft support for further assistance. (0x80004005,
183)

Other symptoms are the spell check is now checking in French only and French
has become the only language option. I've never worked in French before.

It also appears that the advise you're getting below is at best a shot on
the dark.
A lot of work for some other problem and I doubt it will make any difference.
I don't have a solution yet and Microsoft won't acknowledge the problem.
But I'm betting dollars to donuts it's caused by Office 2007.

I can continue to work in OE, the error displays in a separate popup window
that will be behind the other active window. Closing the error message
results in it's reappearance, either immediately or within a few seconds,
sometimes as long a minute.

Operating System is WinXP Sp2, all updates. McAfee Viruscan V.12.0 is
installed but all email intervention is turned off. Maybe I should
uninstall it completely to see if the problem goes away??? Problem started
occurring in the past week or so, McAfee has been on computer for several
years, new version for two months.

OE Inbox folder is pretty clean, only a few messages. Deleted Items folder
is empty.

Any ideas?
