Outlook 2003 on Windows7

[MGBodifee]

LS
I bought a new computer (Win7) but still want to use my Office 2003 on it.

Installation went allright (apparently, no error messages)

However when I try to open Outlook message that it cannot be opened. Already
tried PSTSCAN. No solution.

Tried reinstalling outlook and same problem.

Keeps saying could not start outlook and wants to start in safe mode.
Also repair option does not solve it.

below are the error details:

You're running an unpatched version of Outlook 2003 which is not compatible
with Windows 7.
Apply Service Pack 3 for Office 2003 and additional updates and try again.
You may need to recreate your mail profile afterwards since you created it
while there was an incompatibility.
