after installing Office 2003 keep getting this msg when I go into outlook or
do a file search.

If I totally uninstall Office 2003 it stops.

I suspect either there is a residual entry for Outlook 2002 or Symantec,
which is not installed any more. Can someone please help get rid of this
error so I can use Outlook?

There should be an application name in the title bar or something... this is not the complete error message.

Believe me. There's not.

I have seen this error on more than one computer. It seems to be a windows
installer problem possibly linked to Symantec. But, I know I can get Outlook
2002 to totally uninstall and wonder if that is hanging me up. When it
happens and I look at cntl alt del, the active process IS the Outlook 2002.

How can I get a clean install?
