Default setting up email account

After re-installing Windows XP and Office XP on an older
machine Outlook will open, but will not allow me to set up
the user's email account. After "Tools-option-set up
email" or something similar the last click on set up email
results in a short error message with no code. Does anyone
have any advice?

Do you mean to say that the error message is blank or ?

Have you tried going to Control Panel |Add/Remove Programs | Microsoft
Office XP and having it do a Detect and Repair?

Thanks Ben. The problem appears to be with local
administrator permissions and the like as I FINALLY got
outlook going but am having trouble with other programs
(database ones mainly).
