I have had Outlook 2002 installed for 4 years on this computer. I have had
InBoxer installed for identifying spam for about 3 months. Every so often Inboxer would not work and if it was re-installed all worked fine. Last week I reinstalled InBoxer and it would not work, Outlook identifed a problem with the program and disabled it when I opened Outlook. I re-installed Outlook to correct the problem and now when Outlook starts I receive a message that a major change has been detected on my computer (no hardware changes have been made for some time) and Outlook needs to Activate. When I select next from the Activation window (Outlook installation CD is in drive), a Windows Installation window pops up saying Preparing to Install. Nothing happens from here with the computer. After some time the Installation window disappears. Outlook only runs in a demo mode with most feature disabled. I have tried to uninstall Outlook from the computer and get a error message saying.. This patch package could not be opened. Verfiy that the patch package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verfiy that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package. I have also ran the sfc program to correct and Windows errors. Please Help! Thanks! |

Yes, I have both the data file and data.bak. The same thing occurs if I go
Help, Activate as well. Other Office apps include Office 2000; Microsoft Project 2002 Standard. All other apps work fine with no problems.
