BETA: Office 2003 weird problems

[Greg Hilton]

Hi all,

On Friday my laptop was running fine with Office 2003
Beta and the latest tech refresh downloaded.

Now it will pick up email from my exchange server, but I
cannot reply to any email. I get an error:

The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If
the problem persists, restart Outlook.

If I try and add a new email account I get an error:

The operation failed due to a registry or installation
problem. Restart Outlook and try again. If the problem
perists, please reinstall.

SO I've done a repair, and also removed the beta and done
a full re-install. All with no joy.

It's not the email server as my 2nd PC is happily picking
up email, replying etc using Office XP.

Any ideas,

thanks,

Greg

Try creating a new profile. I just installed the beta (5507) to my
production workstation (since it has worked so well on my other test
machines) and I had so many problems that I ended up creating a new profile.
Seems to have helped.
