Outlook 2003 and office 2007 upgrade problems

[Fred82350]

With my new PC, I did the 60 day trial for office 2003 which included Outlook
2003. I decided I liked the product, so I upgraded to office 2007, d/l-ed
it, installed it, the key worked. BUT Outlook 2003 still exists and I can
only READ email, not send, forward, return, etc...they have all been turned
off. When I start Outlook 2003, I get the /key/upgrade message again, but
the key for Office 2007 won't work. Hey I paid $149 for this! Plz help.

You have to uninstall any trial and reboot before you install your paid for
version.
Uninstall it now, then reinstall office 2007

Thank you for you help DL. I almost "unistalled" it, but then got to
thinking that I might loose all my email contacts, folders, etc. That would
be a disaster. Any suggestions?

As with any important files, MAKE A BACKUP COPY in case something goes
terribly wrong. Uninstalling Office does not delete your files.

Uninstalling Office does not impact on any data
Just as system restore doesnt

OK you two, I'll give it a shot, but not until the weekend after a little
shopping. Thanks!
