error code: 0x8000ffff

[MtK]

Hello,

I just reformatted my PC & reinstalled Office 2007.

I have my PST files in E:\mail\MtK.pst, so I changed the Data File to be the default (all emails/folders were imported correctly).

I've created my Email Accounts & when I tried setting their corresponding delivery folder, I got:

an unknown error occurred, error code: 0x8000ffff

Is there anything I can do with it (without loosing my emails)?

I had exactly the same error message occur after I installed Office 2007 and tried to run Outlook.

I had just installed the same software on 3 other PCs with no problem.

The problem PC was a Dell Inspiron 6000. What was yours?

Another strange thing - on this PC immediately after installation when I went to "Initiate" Office 2007 online , I received a response indicating that it was already initiated.
