Outlook 2007 error
 

I installed Office 2007 with option to retain Office 2003.
I learned after the fact, that Outlook 2003 is replaced by Outlook 2007.
I would have be happy with this change provided Outlook 2007 worked.
I get the following error message when I try to connect to the exchange
server for the first time:
"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The
set of folders cannot be opened. The attempt to log on to Microsoft Echange
has failed."

I have unsuccessfully tried to :
(a) Starting Outlook 2007 in safe mode.
(b) Create a new profile.

Thanks for your reply.

'Control Panel|Mail|E-mail Accounts', double click the Exchange Server
account; is the server name correct and does your user name underline if you
re-enter it and click the "Check Name" button?

Thanks.

Server name and the user name were both correct and recognized.
Our center is running Exchange Server 5.5, which as I understand is not
compatible with Outlook 2007. I am told that our university IT will manage
our center's IT.
They are planning to upgrade Exchange Server.

Are there any other workarounds?

I don't believe so. Outlook 2007 is not supported by Exchange Server 5.5; I
suspect your problem will solve itself when your IT folks replace Exchange
5.5 with 2003 or 2007.

Thanks again.

We uninstalled Outlook 2007 and re-installed Outlook 2003.
I can not access "archive.pst" file as it is asking for a password,
I do not remember setting.

I would appreciate help with this.

Sadly, that's one of the reasons why PST = BAD; assuming this is an ANSI
PST, you might be able to remove the password (that it set all by itself)
with this utility:

Hal,

I appreciate your prompt response.
I cannot help but ask myself, what could I have done differently to prevent
this?

Your suggestion seems to have worked partially.
