I had the same error. This was my resolution:
1) kill the Outlook Process
2) click Start > Run and type "outlook /safe" (no quotes)
A dailog box about RSS feeds came up and I answered it.
3) I opened a new email, exited it and then exited Outlook.
4) I restarted Outlook normally (through the start menu icon)
Everything has worked fine since.
