Last week we had a problem with the msft outlook calendar. Now, when we open
Outlook we get the following message, "Could not read the calendar".
Further, when I clock on calendar in the left nav, I get the following
message: "Outlook cannot open this item. The item may be damaged".

We lost all contacts as well, when I click on contacts it says "cannot
display folder". And I can no longer access PSTs.

All is not lost, as I have a BB that I can reload from, but need to fix
what's going on before I can do that. Anywhere I can re-download the
software from? Or any other suggestions?

Start outlook with the /resetnavpane switch and then the /resetviews switch,
if needed. I think once you fix the problem you'll have your data back -
you just need to get into it.
