Outlook 2003 with SP3 is giving me a problem. I want to reinstall it but I
want to keep my setting, address book, and saved mail and folders in the
reinstalled version. How do I do that??

Depends what the problem is, youve run Detect / Repair?
Uninstall/reinstal rarely cures a problem

Hi DL
Thanks for your response.
I have tried Detect/Repair with the result that all is alright.

The problem has to do with reading any Hotmail message. The first time I
try, I get a failure that results in small error boxes, data sent to
microsoft for their analysis, and Outlook closing. The second time I open
Outlook, all is OK; I can read Hotmail messages.

Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling the Outlook Connector? Are
you using the 12.1 beta Connector that was released only a couple of weeks
ago?

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your interest.
What is a "Connector". What does it do? I've been using hotmail for
several years successfully without having to concern myself with this concept.

MSN is discontinuing the ability to connect to Hotmail accounts with Outlook
unless you get the Outlook Connector.
