Default I receive "could not read the calendar" error message

does the status in the connector (look in the dropdown on the Connector
toolbar) say anything? Also make sure you are looking in the correct
calendar - you may have two, depending on how you have it configured.

I'd try two things:
find and delete the pst used by the connector. it will redownload everything
from msn.
remove the acct and re-add it.

I did try that. Including running Scanpst. The 'scanpst' did find errors
but was able to correct them.

My calendar doesn't show anything in outlook. Not
appts/days/weeks/months/nada. I just get an error that says "Could not
read
the calendar." Because it's an MSN email account, I can still see all my
appts there but the interface isn't as nice as Outlook.

I guess it's time to punt!

detect and repair (office diagnostics)?

Is this a new thing? I've used calendar and mail in Outlook since last
year
(w/a paid MSN account using Outlook connector). It worked fine until a
couple of weeks ago. I'm also not sure what a table view is, but in
the
past, it displayed like I expected it to.

Perhaps this problem is associated with MSN migration to Windows Live?
I
tried to update my MSN account but couldn't because parental controls
were
active. I'd really like to keep those active.

Same here and none of this works. Went through this with email, now the
calendar. Have even removed Office and reinstalled. Same thing. Wish
someone at MS would recognize that Outlook 2007 is having real problems
crashing.

Giving up and buying a stable calendar program.
