I have a Laptop that has Vista & recently installed Microsoft Office 2003.
Office works great, but Outlook 2003 does not work. I have tried everything
from uninstalling to reinstalling, but still does not work. Can anyone tell
me if there is compatibility issues between Vista & Outlook 2003.....

It works fine on Vista. Did you activate Office? What error message do you
get when you try to run Outlook? Make sure there is not another Outlook
version already installed. If so, remove that one first and reinstall Outlook
2003.

The Sony laptop came with a version of Office 2007 Student something,,
something. I tried uninstalling it & the message came up that it did not
understand the language version.
The error message was that the Business contacts was not working. When I
restarted Outlook 03 it asked me to start in safe mode, I tried that and kept
getting the same responses

There already was a trial version of office 07, but not Outlook 07. I tried
uninstalling the trial version of Office 07 but was unable to do so because
something to do with the language

Office 2007 Home and Student Edition does not contain Outlook.

When you uninstalled it, did you repair the installation of whatever Office
you had left?

There was nothing to repair in the trial version of office 2007. I tried
uninstalling Office 2007 but I am not able to this because of something to do
with the language.

Were this happening to me, I'd just wipe the PC and start from scratch with
a new Windows install, leaving out all the junky trialware the vendors add.
