Cannot open Outlook when not connected to an Exchange Server

I have a machine which I used to use at an organisation but now need to use
it at home. Outlook was previously set-up to log into the organisation's
exchange server with one or two profiles I was using.

Now when I try to open outlook, I get a dialog box asking for the name of my
exchange server and profile name. Whatever I type, I get the same message:

"Unable to open default e-mail folders. The information store could not be
opened"

Does anyone know how I get around this? I need to use my calendar and
email, etc. I am currently using Outlook express but need to get back to
Outlook and set-up my dsl connections and accounts, etc.

Versions are Windows 2KPro and Outlook 2K

'Control Panel|Mail|Show Profiles', create a new profile without the
Exchange Server service. When finished, select this new profile in the
"When starting Microsoft Outlook, use this profile" window.
