Uninstalling BCM - Outlook 2003 VERRRRY sluggish

[Guest]

After reviewing BCM, I've come to the realization that it doesn't work as I
had imagined it would. I thought that BCM interacted with the contacts in
Outlook. I had no idea I had to move them over to BCM. This is just not
very efficient, as I'm used to my way of using Outlook to manage clients,
prospects and business opportunities.

I would like to remove BCM, as I think it's causing the whole system to slow
down. I'm running a Dell w/2.6ghz Pentium 4, 1gb RAM and 120gb hard drive.
My system is slower an molasses now. What is the best way to remove BCM? I
just ordered another gig of ram from Dell, as I think that "should" help.

Thanks for any info y'all can offer up!

Go through the Control Panel Add/Remove programs utility in windows. This
will remove everything cleanly. For a more reliable alternative contact
manager that does what BCM "should" do go to www.avidian.com. I couldn't
be happier with Prophet 2004. It is stable and it actually works! I do
not gain financially from plugging this alternative. I am just a
frustrated end user who will not wait around forever for the giant
Microsoft to fix an inexcusably limited application release as BCM has been
(for 2 years now).

I am getting a message that the Installation source is not available when I
try to remove BCM thru the Add/Remove programs feature of the control
panel. At this point, I am unable to load Outlook 2003 due to a BCM failure
and I cannot remove BCM due to misssing source files. Any suggestions?
