Outlook 2010 having problems connecting to Outlook.com

I am having problems with Outlook 2010 syncing with Outlook.com. I have a Windows 8 computer. I see the following symptoms:

1. When I click on the Outlook 2010 icon on the desktop to open the application, it asks me which profile I want to use:

2. Outlook 2010 takes a long time to send and receive messages and has a send/receive error and says "limited connectivity".

3. I cannot access Outlook.com contacts from my web browser.

4. In Outlook 2010, when I go to File|Account Settings and look at the Data Files tab, the location for my outlook.com file says "not available".

Can you help me fix this problem?

Thanks!
