I was running Office 2003, and upgraded to the trial edition of Outlook 2007
(haven't used Outlook before). It seemed to install fine, but won't let me
write emails (the new box is grey, but I receive emails fine), won't let me
add contacts or add appointments to the calender.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you activated your trial already? Help-> Activate...

Yes, I have activated my trial product. Under the activate menu, there is
only the option to convert to the full product. Any other ideas? Thanks

Did you happen to have the trail previously installed? You can only install
the trial once on a machine.
