Outlook 2003 & SP2

[Roady [MVP]]

And what was broken within Outlook?

Sounds like your system has (underlying) issues already BEFORE upgrading to
SP2. You didn't exactly say IN WHAT WAY things were broken. For instance;
the Windows Installer gets updated to version 3 so I wonder what is broken
then?

Anyway; for these SP2 issues you need to be in the Windows XP newsgroup and
explain yourself a lot more on what exactly is broken.

I've posted this 3 times already. Maybe this is the wrong forum but nobody's mentioned that either.
IS this the wrong forum for Outlook issues created by SP2?


Well, since there doesn't seem to be any help on this AND on the other
things that broke with SP2 including Outlook 2003 (and Word 2003)
which WERE:

Windows Installer - broken
System Information - broken due to WMI, which was broken
Services editing - broken ability to stop, disable some services
Services Dependancies availability - broken
WMI - broken
RPC - altered & broken
DEC - totally fuzzy what this is, so assumed broken since too many
..exe's didn't work properly w/ or w/out it
Desktop Icon graphics - broken
Speed for anything (applications, windows, browser, surfing etc) -
lost 20%

Soooooooooo I did a CD repair and this happened:

All of the above - FIXED!
Word 2003 - no error msgs
Word 2003 Office Assistant - restored even though the little fool is
annoying!
Outlook 2003 - able to find Word 2003 as the editor
Speed for everything - gained 20%

All back to usual. Sorry MS but SP2 didn't work for me. I didn't
trust the Rollback either since I've seen issues with that posted.
