iCal won't start up

I've just purchased a new MacBook Pro and migrated a user account from a previous MacBook Pro. iCal will not start up on the new computer. I tried downloading iCal and reinstalling it, but I got a message saying, "iCal cannot be installed on this computer".

Does anyone have any ideas about how I can get iCal running again?

thanks,
Doug

Doug,

Find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag it to the Desktop, then log out/in or restart and reattempt to open iCal. Let us know what happens.

Thanks!!! That solved the problem. I've migrated many users to new computers over the years, but this is the first time I've had this problem.
