First; Office 11 BETA doesn't expire till November 30.
Second; check the fileversion in of MAPIR.DLL in C:\Program Files\Common
Files\System\MSMAPI\<locale ID>
Third; Note that you installed BETA software. Microsoft recommends against
using BETA products on production machines and warns for possible loss of
data and/or system rebuilds. Your "crying for" and "blaming" Microsoft is
not fair in this situation.
