Outlook 2003 wont start

I recently purchased a new Sony Vaio laptop and it came with a trial version
of office 2007 pre-installed.

I wanted to continue to use my office 2003 so I installed it aswell.

I had been using Office 2003 with no problems until one day I accidentally
opened Outlook 2007 instead of 2003. The program immediatly started to
migrate all the settings from 2003. While I can see all my emails with no
problems, and work as per normal, I do not want to use Office 2007.

I have now also noticed that if I click on any other office file, it
automatically starts Office 2007 instead of my installed 2003. Therefore it
apppears that through me accidentally opening Oulook 2007 it has made Office
2007 my default choice.

Since this occured I have tried to open Outlook 2003 but it presents an
error message and tells me that it cannot start.

How can I use Outlook 2003 again, and reset all the Office defaults back to
Office 2003.

I am using Vista.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Regards

Tony

Please tell me where that question and response was posted. I agree that I
did post the question once prior, however I could not see it appear in the
list some hours later, so I posted it again. I can still only see my question
appear once.

Notwithstanding that I never received a notificiation email advising that I
had received a response to that post, which if received would have let me
directly to it.

If you could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

You need to uninstall the trial & any MS 2007 Compatibility pack, delete
temp files & reboot. Then repair your 2003 installation.

Thank you for your advice, but how do I repair 2003? Is it using the inbox
repair tool? if so, I am not sure if that will fix it as 2003 will not even
start. I get an error message tellming me that 'Microsoft Outlook has stopped
working'.

Thanks

2003 is not going to work whilst the trial exists

You can repair using your Office cd, or via Office2003 in add/remove
dialogue, or via Help> Detect/Repair in eg Word
