I don't get any error message - for some reason the CD RoM drive seems to
think the disk is empty, and asks if I want to write to it! (To check, I have
installed the disk in a CD RoM drive in my laptop, and the laptop recognises
it!)
PS thanks for sticking with me on this one!

Shouldn't be - antipiracy keeps you from activating, not installing. What

Installed it as you described - but decided to uninstall and try again.
Now the disk won't load on my machine - is this some sort of anti-piracy
software package kicking in?

How did you "reload" outlook? If by any other means that installing it
from
the disk and created a new outlook profile, the method you used has
messed
it up.

Recently had to replace motherboard, so due to not wanting to pay HP
"fee"
to
re tattoo BIOS, reloaded OS (Windows XP). Saved previous content of
hard
drive on external hard drive.
Reloaded Office 2003, now cannot get Outlook to recognise old .pst
files
from previous content of hard drive. When I attempt to open a .pst
file,
get
error notice "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. The command line
is
not
valid. Verify the switch you are using"
Grateful for any help.
