Alright, I am trying to open outlook, and there is a screen that prompts me
for a "Microsoft Exchange Server" and a "Mailbox", neither of which I know?
Another screen opens saying " Creating Outlook accounts"... "Creating welcome
message". and thats it. I can't get into the program or anyting. All i want
to do is use the blasted calendar. HELP!????

close outlook. go to control panel, mail. click on the profiles button and
delete and profiles that may exist then create a new "no mail" one. If you
need help creating the profile, report back with your outlook version.

'Control Panel|Mail|Show Profiles', delete the profile you see and create a
new one without the Exchange Server Service:

Or, as an alternative to the suggestions so far, just remove the Exchange
service from the existing profile.
