Outlook 2003 with Vista
 

I recently got a new computer with Vista Ultimate.
I then installed Office (Teacher and Student Edition - 2003). All the
programs (Word, Excel, PP and Outlook) installed.

When trying to run Outlook, the following message is received:
"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Caused by installing other messaging
software".

If this because you cannot run windows mail (comes with Vista) and outlook
2003 at the same time? If so, can you give a recommendation as to how to get
outlook - would you need to get an upgrade to outlook 2007.

But using outlook 2007, would this run simultaneously with windows mail.

Did you perhaps have a trial version of Office installed that you failed to
remove first?
What is indicated for Office in Vista remove programs dialogue?

Yes you can run Outlook together with Windows Mail

Don't "Delete" it - you need to uninstall it.
