Software
Office started acting very flakey, alway sasking for the cd and looking for cab files. I reinstalled it and everything but outlook works. It says it cannot find my primary mail folders.
I already lost all my Outlook data..I would atleast like to start recreating it.

If you are using Outlook 2003, you can set up the location of your mail folders from Outlook by going to:
Tools - Options - Mail Setup - Data Folders
The Personal Folders, or .pst file, is usually in C:\Documents and Settings\{your login name}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst.
If you had an Archive file, it should be in the same folder and called Archive.pst.
Can you find anything at all in those folders in the C: drive?
Using the same 'Outlook Data Files' option window you can click Add and create a new Personal Folders file. e.g. Newfolders.pst.
From Tools - Options - Mail Setup - Email Accounts you can change the default location where new messages are being delivered to point to your new file.
