On the installer, did you run detect and repair from one of the programs in
the suite?
When I buy office, I got pro because I need outlook, word, access, onenote,
and excel. I get a bunch of other crap I really don't need - but I figure if
I use them, fine, if I don't, I'm not going to worry about it. I paid for
the apps I need, everything else in the package is free. I have never used
powerpoint, I have never used publisher. I'm not going to use either just
because "I paid for them" - I will use them if the need arises and they are
the best tool for the job. I won't force myself to use them when another
tool works better for me - because they are not the reason I bought the
suite. I bought the suite because the cost value of buying it seemed to be a
better deal than buying the apps I needed individually @ ~$100 each or as
part of a different suite.

However, if thunderbird meets *your* needs, by all means use it. It's
silly to use Outlook "just because it came with office."
I had found that tip already and deleted the file but still no joy.
I agree with your comment on not using Outlook, but as it comes as part of
a suit of software that I have paid for it would be nice to have it
working, as also at the moment I have other problems with Word,
Powerpoint, Publisher and Frontpage with the installer dialog popping up
each time I open them, so basically apart from Access and Excell most of
my office suit is unusable.
I have contacted MS regarding this and other problems with Vista, and the
general answer is use the KB's or the newsgroups.
It gets very frustrating when you can not get something as well known as
Office 2003 to actually work.
