Does anyone know how to fix my e-mail problem?

I purchased a new laptop preloaded with windows 8. I installed my old copy of office 2007 that worked without a problem until I was promoted to upgrade to windows 8.1. After upgrading to 8.1 my problems started with my Outlook 2007. When opening it shows me this message. “There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.”
