The user is running win95 and office97 with outlook 98. Everytime the user opens his outlook up he simple gets the message. "the operation failed" user then clicks ok and outlook works fine. The message is very annoying. I have uninstalled outlook and re-installed outlook. I also uninstalled Mcafee. The message comes up when outlook has be executed. user does use personal folders.

I can fix this by re-installed the OS and putting the software back on the system. Just trying to find an easier fix.

Are you using any VBA in outlook ?

Have you used any custom forms ?

Have you tried changing the default folder which is displayed when opening Outlook ?

Try removing the old PST (personal folder) file and creating a new one. If that works, then you can import the messages from the old PST.
