PCMover didn't do you any favors, it sounds like. You might want to try downloading
iTunes from Apple's site and installing it using the downloaded installer, and uninstalling
and then reinstalling Outlook from your Office CD's. Hopefully, that will repair
the registry entries that are apparently pointing to the wrong places.
In the long run, you'll be much better off wiping everything out and reinstalling
from scratch, rather than using something like PCMover.
