DONT INSTALL ONENOTE!! WILL DESTROY OUTLOOK FOREVER!! D Robinson 3/19/2007 11:26:02 PM I installed OneNote 2007 Trial. It caused "Configuring Office 2007" dialogue boxes to pop up every time I started outlook or word or Windows, so I uninstalled it. After uninstalling OneNote, Outlook 2003 CANNOT START!!! It pops up a MS Install dialogue, "configuring Office 2003", and then prompts for a CD, which I don't have, since Office came with this notebook. SO - THE MORAL OF THE STORY: If you install OneNote, YOUR OUTLOOK WILL BE RENDERED UNRUNNABLE!

OneNote doesn't do that to your computer normally.

Re: DONT INSTALL ONENOTE!! WILL DESTROY OUTLOOK FOREVER!! D Robinson 3/20/2007 3:26:05 PM I didn't install anything else. But I suspect the problem started with the fact that I declined to install desktop search when prompted by the OneNote trial. I am guessing that that is what caused installer dialogues to keep popping up while OneNote was installed. It may also have introduced an uninstall bug that hosed Outlook.

I have never had good luck mixing and matching versions of MS products. I upgraded across the board to Office 2007. Also, on every computer the upgrade seemed to GREATLY slow down the machine so we wiped the boxes and re-OSed them. Yes, that is a radical solution, but I have always found that MS loads up Office with so much OS stuff that it is almost unavoidable not to reformat the drive. The nice thing is that we do not get complete new versions of Office all that often.

Re: DONT INSTALL ONENOTE!! WILL DESTROY OUTLOOK FOREVER!! D Robinson 3/20/2007 5:01:27 PM I guess that nixes my next possible solution: I was considering buying Office 2007 and getting it over with. Now I'm not so sure.

If you look in the Event Viewer it'll tell you what Windows Installer Office component it thinks it needs. That might be helpful.

Re: DONT INSTALL ONENOTE!! WILL DESTROY OUTLOOK FOREVER!! D Robinson 3/21/2007 2:02:03 AM Thanks, doc. I ended up finding a copy of Office 2003 - once I had that CD, everything worked fine. If I had the space, I'd just copy the whole CD to my harddrive so I don't have to go through this again.

Re: DONT INSTALL ONENOTE!! WILL DESTROY OUTLOOK FOREVER!! D Robinson 3/21/2007 2:03:03 AM Alas, no, I had no Office CD on my computer. But I was able to find a copy of the Office CD, and as soon as I put it in, the Outlook dialogue recognized it and fixed me up.
