Help!

My operating system is Windows XP professional. I believe it is up to date.
I am having a problem with Outlook. I have Outlook 2003, service pack 2. I
downloaded service pack 3. When I tried to install it I received a message
that it could not be installed. From the Microsoft website, I learned there
is a problem with the registry. I read about how to fix the problem. It
involves finding the GUID. When I looked for the GUID, there were at least
40 entries. I'm afraid to edit 40 entries.

Put the original office 2003 CD into my computer. I was going to reinstall
the program. When I clicked on set up I got this message "the installation
source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and
that you can access it."

So now I am planning to uninstall office. I have backed up my computer. I
have created a copy of my personal settings.

Does anyone have a less drastic solution?

Thanks in advance!

I got and ran the MS Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Still can not
uninstall office or repair my current Office.

Am stuck in no man's land.
Help.
