Error message "Could not save item" in Calendar in standalone Outlook 2003


When I try to add a new Calendar item in Outlook 2003, I get the error message, "Could not save item."

I ran Detect and Repair and it did not fix the problem.

Any ideas?  (Note that I'm not running Exchange - there are others who have had this problem in corporate or workgroup settings but they were given advice not relevant to my problem as I have a standalone installation).

Thank you for all the help.  Before I tried traval's suggestions, I ran an anti-spyware product again and rebooted, and the problem went away.  I will keep the above suggestions, though, in case this happens again.
Okay,  I am having the same problem. I did this below:

I'd recommend these troubleshooting steps in this order:

1.  Create a subfolder underneath your regular calendar (that holds Calendar Items) and see if you can create appointments there.

And I can create appts in the sub folder. So now what? What does that mean and what do I do from here?

Hi sxwk12, if you are experiencing a technical problem you need to open up a new question, this question is closed and you cannot piggy back closed questions in order to resolve new issues.  See https://www.experts-exchange.com/help.jsp if you have any questions on how to do this.
Had the exact same  "Could not save item" error.

jscarborough's solution of installing [in my case, MSFT's] anti-spyware and rebooting FIXED the problem.  THANK YOU.  I never would have thought of this.
