After furious head scratching, Lyndie asked:

| I am using Outlook 2002 in Office XP Professional. I have activated
| all the products in the package, but my calendar will not open at
| all. The message says, "Could not open the item. Try again." I also
| get a message that says, "Unable to start processing services." I
| have tried reinstalling the package, and I have tried using the
| repair tool. Nothing has worked. Any help would be much appreciated.
