Outlook Today Window Shows Links to Calendar, Messages and Tasks, but no entries

On an employee's Outlook 2003 install, when you open outlook it is set to default to the Outlook Today window.  On every other computer, the outlook today window opens with Calendar, Messages and Tasks displaying entries for each category.  On the computer in question, no entries show up but instead a link to messages, calendar and tasks are displayed.  If I click on a different folder and then click back on Outlook Today, the proper view with entries is displayed for about .5 seconds before switching back to the link view.  Any suggestions?  thanks, Ian

Does the user have delivery going to a PST?  Were any of the default folders renamed?  Names with slashes can be a problem.

Was the machine upgraded from Outlook 2000 to 2003 (rather than a clean install)?
You can customize  the Outlook Today page is you are familiar with c/c++

The install was an upgrade from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003.  The upgrade was supposed to uninstall all previous versions before installing Office 2003.  No default folders have been renamed.  All customizations on the Outlook Today page behave in the same way.  I will try a reinstall to see if this fixes the issue.
