I am fed up with Office 2007 Beta 2

[Lady Veteran]

I am so fed up with Office 2007 Beta 2 I could Puke. For a week now I
have been unable to even open it because I tried to create a new .pst
file like was suggested. The original problem was a "folder's full"
error that would not allow me to archive.

Now I am trying to uninstall and it is telling me that I cannot
because there are changes made to the original and I need to undo
those first.

Can anyone help me before I chuck the whole thing out the window??

Calm down, have a nice cup of tea, and then start over.

Tell us exactly what error messages you are getting when trying to
uninstall. Have you tried the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to undo the
Office installation? Did you upgrade over a previous version or was a
previous version uninstalled prior to installing the beta?

Since this is beta software, I presume you have a pre-beta restore point you
can fall back on. If not, then post back with results from your efforts
after installing and running the WICU.

I am running Office 2007 Beta2 and I cannot delete anything without
getting an error that says "The folder is full" There is no reference,
no error number-Nothing.

Can someone please tell me what this means and what I can do to
resolve it? I have already run the MS Office Diagnostics. It found a
corrupt setup file and fixed it.

Thanks

Here you go.

I was then asked about the sizes of the files and I posted that as
well

I was then told to create a new pst file. Now I cannot open it at all.
I would like to know what the path is for the pst file so I can put it
back where it belongs.

You can put a .pst file anywhere you want, just NEVER overwrite the existing
..pst file. I have mine on the D:\ drive.

I thought you wanted to uninstall Office 2007 beta?

I do if I can't get the problem fixed. I would like mine on my F drive
because that is my huge storage drive.

Did you read the comments below the posting you saw?

This was my original configuration. The I renamed my pst file and now
I cannot open anything.

Create a new profile via Control Panel, Mail and add your PST file to
it.

That seemed to clear up the problem. I just have to find the original
PST file...

If Outlook created it for you, then a good place to look is in
\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook
