Downgraded Oulook 2007/BCM 2007 back to Outlook 2003, major problems
zipped <mikezemann[ at ]gmail.com> 5/26/2007 8:09:05 PM
Love Office 2007 SBE, Outlook 07, and BCM 07. Only problem was it was
sooooo slow. Love all the features though, exactly what I need.
Installed full version, not trial.

Downgraded back to Office 2003, Outlook 2003, and trying to reinstall
BCM 2003. Here are the details.
1. Removed all Office 2007, Outlook 2007, BCM, SQL server.
2. Installed Office Pro 2003, full, did all updates via Microsoft
Update
3. Installed BCM for Outlook 2003, downloaded from Microsoft.
3. Office has no problems.
4. Outlook couldn't start up in normal or safe mode. Got stuck on the
migrating accounts window.
5. After many, many retries, not sure why, but Outlook started running
BCM config files.
6. Outlook then fully opened.
7. BCM 2007 config files tried to load. Eventually it gave up.
8. Closed Outlook, can open it now no problem, but no BCM 2003

Q1. What else can I remove to insure BCM 2007 is gone from the system.
Cab or install files somewhere?
Q2. Any suggestions on what to do to reload 2003 safely?

Thanks in advance!!!

Sorry... I can't offer help... but need to vent. I whole heartedly agree that
this is the worst move I have ever made! Office 2007 is designed by marketing
people it appears, not real users. I can not trust my business to the
unreliable BCM that crashes at LEAST one out of ten times. I upgraded to be
compatible with SBA 2007. Now I'm thinking that this was a dumb move.
Ok... I have vented...
Totally Frustrated!

Thanks Luther for your input - I ended up removing office entirely,
then re-installing. Made it past this.
Have a new one for you...I just posted it, search under zipped.
Thanks in advance!!!
