I just bought a new computer with Windows Vista. I installed my Office 2003
package and Word, Excel, and PowerPoint all worked just fine. However,
Outlook won't come up - I get a message that says: "Cannot start Microsoft
Office Outlook. MAPI32.DLL is corrupt or the wrong version. This could have
been caused by installing other messaging software. Please reinstall
Outlook." I've run the "fixmapi" program found in the system32 folder and
re-installed the entire office suite twice... I still get the same result.
I'm not sure about the "Messaging" software the flash menu is mentioning.
Does anybody have any ideas?

Barry,
Did your new PC come with a trial version of Office 2007? If it did, you
will need to uninstall it before installing MS Office 2003.
