    My Outlook will not open, please help!

    When I try to open Outlook 2007, the starting screen opens with the title page, but before it transitions to my mailbox, I get a message saying twice

    The file C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst cannot be found.

    followed by it automatically opening "Create/Open Personal Folders File" each time and after hitting cancel both times it reads an error message of

    Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The file C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst cannot be found.

    I'm totally lost and school starts back up this week and I could really use some help to get this issue resolved before then.

    Thanks!
