Thanks, I did the reconfigure. I was not queried for location of
Exchange Server or any other queries for that matter. I restarted
Outlook and I still have no calendar capabilities. I get calendars,
but they are all empty except for old stuff from the previous
installation two years ago.

But now you have the ability to start fresh with a new mail profile in
Control Panel's Mail applet. Also, check for other PSTs on your hard drive,
being sure to look in hidden files and folders.

You may not have to switch to the other mode just yet. If you have a
corrupt profile, you can force IMO to create a new one with a reg hack:
To create a new "profile" in IMO, quit Outlook then delete this key:

Restart Outlook. It will create a new profile automatically.

In no version of Outlook should you ever have used the address book
for data entry or editing. Now you see why. You completely lose track
of where that data goes or whether you have even saved it. There is no
address book in Outlook. All data is stored in Contact Folders. Use
Folder List view to see how many Contact Folders you now have,
consolidate them if you have more than one, and use only that Contact

You've had a logical explanation all along:
1. You corrupted your Outlook profile by migrating your Outlook Data
incorrectly. You didn't remember what you did so we couldn't provide a
solution.
2. IMO mode is a simplified version of Outlook that provides you no
opportunity to repair your profile by creating a new one. Your options at
that point were to switch to the full version so you could create a new
profile or use a reg hack to force IMO to create a new profile.
3. You switched to the full version but neglected to create a new profile,
so nothing improved.
4. Now you've switched back to IMO, so no one can possibly guess where
things now stand.

IMO was a nasty, dysfunctional version of Outlook that is no longer
supported and was abandoned years ago. Your best bet is to make sure your
PST file is safely backed up and upgrade to a current, supported version of
Outlook. Your second best bet is to use the reg hack to create a new IMO
profile, then migrate your PST file correctly using the instructions I sent
you two days ago.
