Diane,
This indeed worked. I made a new profile, and the To-Do box appeared. I
was able to copy over my old pst file and everything still worked.
I just have an odd new mail profile called "New Outlook" that I can't seem
to rename even though I deleted the old "Outlook" profile. But I never see
this name anyway.
I'm not sure what got corrupted, or how it was fixed when the reinstall
and program checks did nothing. But it works now.
Thanks,
-Larry
