Problem Reverting to Office 2003 from 2007b

[CK]

I can't wait for the final release, but I need more stability right now.

I Uninstalled 2007b through Add/Remove progs. I also uninstalled windows
desktop search.

I was then prompted to insert the original 2k3 media when I started excel.
That fixed all of the apps except Outlook (as far as I can tell).

Outlook crashes on startup and reports to MS then offers to start in safe
mode. It crashes repeatedly unless i cancel or choose safe mode. It also
crashes when I create a new profile.
I've tried reinstalling Outlook and Office completely.

What might be the problem? Can I fix outlook without wiping my HD?

sounds like you had both versions installed at once since you didn't mention
reinstalling office 2003
i would uninstall 2003 and reinstall it

I did uninstall ol2003 before trying the beta. Also I have
un-then-re-installed ol2003 since uninstalling the beta.

btw 2003 does work in safe mode.
