Outlook 2010 cannot find Outlook1.pst file--and won't open

Yesterday I upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2010. Before the upgrade, I uninstalled Office 2003. After the upgrade, and a succesful set up of an email account in Outlook, this error message came up:

"Outlook Data File: Outlook1.pst cannot be found. Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be found. The file C;]users]myname\desktop\outlook1.pst cannot be found."

No pst file exists on my Desktop. I then uninstalled Microsoft Office 2010, reinstalled, and the same error message. Outlook cannot be used.

Help!!
