Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2002 may crash after you install Office XP on a compute

I had to reload 2002 XP Office Professional on a new
computer after a laptop's motherboard died; didn't even
think that the Trial 2003 Office was on there and a
possible conflict. There is.

If I follow Microsoft's instructions to Add/Remove 2003,
will I lose the data already there (email boxes I've set
up over the last coupole of days with messages)??

What is the name of the file if I want to back it up--
just in case it is lost in the change?

Thank you!!
Joni

Let me clarify, if necessary....

The boxes/messages that I'm trying to 'save' came in
under the Trial Office 2003 software with the new
laptop. I would prefer to use the software I already
own: Office XP Professional, ver 2002

If I delete the trial 2003 software, will I lose what
I've already created while using that software??

Your Outlook 2003 data should be located somewhere in the \Documents and
Settings\
folder on drive C (or the drive that Windows is loaded on).

This data should remain even if you uninstall Office/Outlook 2003.

The exact location will be different depending on what your log on name is
for Windows. (i.e. if you log on as "Joni" when you start Windows, then you
would find the \Joni\ folder within the \Documents and Settings\ folder).


The information you would be looking for would be in (by default):
C:\Documents and Settings\---NAME--HERE---\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

For you, it might be (if you use "Mark" as your Windows log on name):
C:\Documents and Settings\Joni\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\


You'd be looking for a file called Outlook.pst
The Type column next to it may say "Office Data File" just in case you don't
see the .pst extension at the end. (in Details view)




Additional Office settings files can also be found in:
C:\Documents and Settings\---NAME--HERE---\Application
Data\Microsoft\Office\

For you, it might be:
C:\Documents and Settings\Joni\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\

There is one major problem - if the pst file was created in the new (2003)
format, the only way to use it in a previous version of Outlook is to open
it in Outlook 2003 and then "save as" a previous version of the pst. As the
OP says he can't run Outlook, he's got a potential problem.
