I have a similar problem. Downloaded Beta Office 2007. A Microsoft
diagnostic found that I had conflicting versions of Outlook so I unistalled
Office 2003. Outlook 2007 would not longer send/receive. Reinstalled 2003.
2007 is now OK. Given that the diagnostic finds conflicting versions, what
should I be doing?
Thanks.

What happens when you try to re-install Outlook 2007?
Provide the error messages you get here.

Hi,

Back-up the system registry.
Go under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\ and delete the Outlook
folder.
Also, delete the Outlook folder under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office

Also run a search for the files mapi32.dll and msmapi32.dll and rename them
to .old
Restart the computer and try installing Outlook from Control Panel>
Add/Remove Programs> Maintenance Mode> Add/Remove Features.

Let me know if it helps.

Thanks,

Mittu
