This error may occur because of many reasons and one of the common reasons is  the current navigation pane in the outlook is not working correctly .This is maintained by profilename.xml where profile name is the name of your outlook profile. This file is stored in the following location:

  • Windows XP

    C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataMicrosoftOutlook

  • Windows Vista, Windows 7

    C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingMicrosoftOutlook

If the file size is 0 KB then the file is corrupted.

To recover, you can start Outlook with the resetnavpane switch;

Windows Vista and Windows 7

Start-> type; outlook.exe /resetnavpane

Windows XP

Start-> Run; outlook.exe /resetnavpane

If the problem still persists you can create the new profile.
