OL 2003 Cannot Import or Export

[Guest]

Hello All:

I recently removed, then installed OL 2003 Std. Beta.
The app crashed as I was exporting out a .pst to my thumbdrive.
Now, neither File-> Import and Export nor File_> Outlook Data File will
open up.
I hit the options and nothing happens at all.
I have run the "Repair" from Add Remove programs.
File-> archive works, but I am not able to navigate to .psts that already
exist.
Ideas on what to do next?
Thanks!

Ehm, BETA? That one expired a long long time ago already. Are you talking
about a DEMO version perhaps?

Right.
Sorry to throw out a bad clue.
It's the free 60-day from the website.
For what it's worth

Why are you exporting anything? Just close Outloko and copy the PST.

Now, neither File-> Import and Export nor File_> Outlook Data File
will open up.

already exist.

What happens when you try?

Thanks for asking!

There is no clue that Office is doing anything.
no new windows open up, I don't get to navigate to anything.
I have noticed that when I shut down Outlook, there is a progress bar that
flashes briefly as the Outlook window goes down.
It appears that Outlook is attempting to move a .pst, there is no dialog
visible on that progress bar window.
I have never seen this in Event Viewer or in Taskask manager window.
It's funny, because I have uninstalled/ reinstalled Outlook 60-day and it
continues to do this.
I'd better clean out references to Office in the Registry before installing
it again.

OK problem solved.
Got rid of the OFFICE directory.
Deleted the Office Key in registry
removed reinstalled
It works better than before!
Thanks again, all!
