I have been using Outlook 2003 successfully for email since purchasing a new
laptop about a year ago. It came as part of MS Office Basic Edition. Today,
I was trying to install Access from Office XP Professional (on a temporary
basis because my other computer that normally runs Access was in the repair
shop) and accidently installed Outlook along with it. So then my previous
version of Outlook no longer worked. I uninstalled all the XP programs but
my Outlook still no longer works. When I open Outlook, I get a message that
"outlvba.dll is not a valid Office add-in. If I try to look at Tools/Email
accounts, I am told that the operation failed because of registry or
installation problems and that I should re-install Outlook. So, I tried
uninstalling and re-installing MS Office Basic Edition from the original CD,
but the installation goes 1/2 way and then quits-- no explanation (although
MS is sorry for the inconvenience.) Any ideas why I can't re-install my
software??
