Default Outlook: database creation was unsuccessful

I recently upgraded to Outlook 2007 and whenever I try to start the program I get an error message: Database creation was unsuccessful.



I am running XP

Can someone help me, I really need to use Outlook without the hassle.

Might be caused by SQL Server service, try:
  1. Exit Outlook.
  2. Click Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
  3. Locate SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) and right-click on it and select 'Start'.
  4. Exit Computer Management, and then start Outlook.

Matrix thank for your quick reply.

I did exit Outlook, and under services SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) it shows as started. Neverless I hit restart but it made no difference once I tried to start Outlook.
