Outlook 2003 with Vista

[Lori]

I recently got a new computer with Vista Ultimate.
I then installed Office (Teacher and Student Edition - 2003). All the
programs (Word, Excel, PP and Outlook) installed.

When trying to run Outlook, the following message is received:
"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Caused by installing other messaging
software".

If this because you cannot run windows mail (comes with Vista) and outlook
2003 at the same time? If so, can you give a recommendation as to how to get
outlook - would you need to get an upgrade to outlook 2007.

But using outlook 2007, would this run simultaneously with windows mail.

Did you perhaps have a trial version of Office installed that you failed to
remove first?
What is indicated for Office in Vista remove programs dialogue?

Yes you can run Outlook together with Windows Mail

I will try to delete the "trial version of Office" - and will advise

No, its not windows mail that is causing problems. Do you have a trial of
office 2007 installed?

Don't "Delete" it - you need to uninstall it.

I uninstalled the trial of office 2007. I then tried to reinstalled outlook
2003 (Teachers Edition) and outlook 2003 still doesn't come on b/c of the
message below.

Should I just buy outlook 2007?

No, its not windows mail that is causing problems. Do you have a trial of
office 2007 installed?

This is common after downgrading from Outlook 2007.
