I've just installed Outlook 2003 on my new laptop and when I start outlook it
tells me it is unable to connect to the Microsoft Exchange Server. I've not
set up any e-mail accounts, so don't see how it can be looking to cehck an
exchange account.

Go to

Control Panel | Mail | E-Mail-Accounts

and delete the Exchange account.
