Hi - I've upgraded to Outlook 2007, and now I get prompted with "Choose
Profile" 3-4 times when I open Outlook and everytime I open an email.

I found out it's because Exchange Server 2003 is installed on my pc for
admin purposes. Off course i could uninstall Exchange server, and then it
works OK - but I need the Exchange server on my pc.

The situation is the same for my colleges, so it's not just 1 computer.
Anyone experienced the same? And do you have any ideas for a solution?

Running Outlook and Exchange on the same machine is not supported. Consider
using Virtual PC/Server or Hyper-V or VMWare instead.

OK - that explains it.... I'm not surprised really, off course 2 MS products
can't coexist :-)

Now i'm having trouble uninstalling the Exchange server from my pc. It's not
possible to remove all of the program from Add/remove Programs - nor with the
Windows Install Clean Up tool. Any ideas in that direction?

Two applications that rely on a different MAPI dependencies and
implementations can't coexist ;-) It's pretty much the same why only 1
version of Outlook can be installed on a system.

Hard to say where things go wrong for you. I believe there should be an
uninstall log. You might be able to get some support on how to manually
uninstall Exchange in the Exchange newsgroups. This KB article should get
you started as well;
