Your Profile is probably corrupted. Set up a new profile. Also OL does not have dbx files they belong to OE.

I ran a McAfee cleanup and I've been having tons of problems since.
The most annoying is that the delete shortcut ("X") gives me an error
message "Errors have been detected in the file C:\\ blah blah \Outlook
\Outlook.pst. Use the inbox repair too."

The repair tool didn't find any errors. I looked for answers on the
net and found I don't have a deleted files.dbx file anywhere. Outlook
is supposed to create one if it's missing. I tried making a new
Outlook Data File -- didn't fix the problem.

I can delete mail with Shift-delete but that's a pain and they're gone
for good. Any ideas other than reinstalling Outlook?
