Can you reinstall Outlook 2003 only?

[bmesc]

The disk I got from Dell is for Office Basci Edition 2003 and I don't
see any separate reinstall options for Outlook 2003 only. Also, will
my address books, calendar, sticky notes all stay intact if I
reinstall?

Thanks

 

[Roady [MVP]]

The repair is for all Office products installed as they work as a whole so
you cannot do this just for Outlook or any other application. A repair
doesn't reset any setting and will not delete any data.

My question was regarding reinstall, not repair. I already tried
repair and the problems still exist (can't see attachments from yahoo
or aol e-mail accounts).

Don't waste your time. A reinstall won't solve it either.

You haven't given denizens of this newsgroup a chance to help you solve the
problem. You have just decided to reinstall. What are the symptoms? Error
messages? etc.

Actually, I described the symptoms in another thread but did not get
much response. The problem is that I can no longer see the attachments
from e-mails coming from aol or yahoo accounts. Everything else is ok.
Started about 3 weeks ago. The inbox shows a paperclip icon, but in
the e-mail, where you normally have the attachment name to click on,
there is nothing there. If I click on that spot, I get an error
message "the operation failed." I made no setting changes. I have
tried with all security off. The attachments are usually excel files
or forwarded messages. Even past e-mails have the attachments
disapeared. On another perhaps related note, I get an error when I
create a new message and want to enter the "To..." field from my
address book (by clicking the open book icon next to "To...") The
error message is "The messaging interface has returned an unknown
error."

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Here is some more weirdness. On the e-mails with the attachments, I
see nothing next to "Attachments", which is where you would normally
see the attachment name. To the right on the same line there are up
and down scroll icons. Scrolling them gets nothing. What I discovered
I can do, though, is right click where the attachment name is supposed
to be and then save the attachment and then open it. Has anyone ever
heard of anything like this?

Can you repro this behavior in Outlook Safe Mode?

Everything indicates it is a configuration issue/corruption. We should
be
able to clear this one up for you. Tried my suggestion of recreating
the
mail profile already?

Do you get the same error when you press the Address Book icon
in
the
toolbar of the main Outlook window?

The repair is for all Office products installed as they
work
as
a
whole
so
you cannot do this just for Outlook or any other
application.
A
repair
doesn't reset any setting and will not delete any data.

The disk I got from Dell is for Office Basci Edition
2003
and
I
don't
see any separate reinstall options for Outlook 2003
only.
Also,
will
my address books, calendar, sticky notes all stay intact
if
I
reinstall?

Thanks- Hide quoted text -

My question was regarding reinstall, not repair. I already
tried
repair and the problems still exist (can't see attachments
from
yahoo
or aol e-mail accounts).

Don't waste your time. A reinstall won't solve it either.

You haven't given denizens of this newsgroup a chance to help
you
solve
the
problem. You have just decided to reinstall. What are the
symptoms?
Error
messages? etc.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

Actually, I described the symptoms in another thread but did
not
get
much response. The problem is that I can no longer see the
attachments
from e-mails coming from aol or yahoo accounts. Everything
else
is
ok.
Started about 3 weeks ago. The inbox shows a paperclip icon,
but
in
the e-mail, where you normally have the attachment name to
click
on,
there is nothing there. If I click on that spot, I get an
error
message "the operation failed." I made no setting changes. I
have
tried with all security off. The attachments are usually excel
files
or forwarded messages. Even past e-mails have the attachments
disapeared. On another perhaps related note, I get an error
when
I
create a new message and want to enter the "To..." field from
my
address book (by clicking the open book icon next to "To...")
The
error message is "The messaging interface has returned an
unknown
error."

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is some more weirdness. On the e-mails with the attachments, I
see nothing next to "Attachments", which is where you would normally
see the attachment name. To the right on the same line there are up
and down scroll icons. Scrolling them gets nothing. What I discovered
I can do, though, is right click where the attachment name is supposed
to be and then save the attachment and then open it. Has anyone ever
heard of anything like this?

Can you repro this behavior in Outlook Safe Mode?
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /safe

I tried that and it still behaved the same way.

Then you should try it with a new mail profile anyway. You can create an
additional one without deleting the old one so you can always go back if it
doesn't fix it.
