using vista, outlook 2007 and need to do a complete reinstall. I have
already tried once but because I didn't delete contents of my outolook.pst
folder, when i opened outlook after reinstall, all my data was still in there
as well as my email account setup. shouldn't that have been clear as if i
was installing for first time?

No, reinstalling Outlook will not get rid of your Outlook data or
settings - most users would get very upset if that happened.

B.t.w. why do you "need" to do a complete reinstall?

i had corrupt data file because of downloading Vista service pack 1. Let
your Vista readers know to NEVER download this. Microsoft has special FREE
phone number because there are so many problems. Andy by the way, once you
download SP1, only way to remove it is to do system restore. My computer
geeks tell me to avoid doing restore because it has such a negative impact on
other things deep within programs so refused to do that. (i'm sure others
will disagree with this)

I spend over 68 minutes on phone with outlook tech support where they had to
take control of my laptop to create new user profile in outlook. that did
fix problems.

Also, FYI- notifications i've been getting lately don't take me
anywhere....oh guess what, since i've installed SP1. Obviously this is an
explorer setting......any ideas how to fix this problem?????

NO DOUBT AT ALL! call the phone # which is specialized for SP1
issues....this was one of them
