From reading the OP's post, it sounds like he got a new PC with H&S and added Outlook 2003 to it - no upgrade in play. But I agree, when I upgraded from 2003 to 2007, things were so ugly a new profile was the only way to fix it. Time will tell us from the numbers and types of posts here in the Outlook groups.
