Due to a 'malfunction' I had to reinstall Windows 98 (Dell) and all of my
programs. I can access all my old data files for every program except
Outlook. Any suggestions?

The file you need to look for is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's
where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
