I think that you did not see that on the installation of Office 2007, it
never gets past a point where it said that it can not find
Proofing.en-us\Proof.es\Proof.cab and also the same message but ending with
..msi. So, I never get to Outlook, a profile, or anything else.

Before I get to configuring anything, I need to get past that point. I need
the proofing tools. I have searched all over microsoft.com, nothing comes up.

You now mention OL97, whereas previously stated you had reinstalled
OfficeXP, with OL I had assumed.
Assuming you are using a winXP or Vista PC
Uninstall the previous versions of OL and or Office, clear your temp files &
reboot the PC.
Then reinstall Office 2007, I'll assume your version of 2007 includes OL2007

When it comes to starting/setting up OL, it it offers to use an existing
Profile or data file, decline & have it create new ones. Then enter your
mail account info & test the accounts

Thanks. So, what do your suggest?

The folder list in Outlook 97 that I could not get was the list in Outlook
Today, Calendar, Contacts, Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Journal, etc.

Should I uninstall Office 97 and start the installation of Office 2007 to
get the error messages, and then come back with them?

I would be quite happy with Office XP if Outlook 97 will install and run
properly.

It is not neccessary to uninstall all of Office, in order to remove only
outlook, and it has never been neccessary.
Posting an incomplete err.msg is unlikely to result in any specific help
Depends what you mean by 'normal folder list'

I have been a fan of Outlook, all of Office, and Windows, but, Microsoft
is
now losing me really fast.

I had a problem with Outlook, I came to this forum for help, someone
gave
me
three very specific tasks, and I am sure he was correct, as far as the
tasks
went. But they did not do the trick.

So, foolishly, I decided to uninstall Outlook, which apparently meant
uninstalling all of Office, and then re-installing,

Before I re-installed, I ran a registry cleaner and re-booted.

A few minutes into the installation, Office balked at not finding some
sort
of "proof.en-us...\msi", and another similar file. I took that to a
search
and found people all over a whole bunch of forums with the same
probelms,
these proofs apparently not being on the installation disk.

I tried the normal installation and the custom installation. I tried
the
custom with that proofing item Yes, and No. Nothing worked.

So, I decided to install Office XP. That installed fine, Word, Excel,
Access, but not Outlook, which is where this all started. Outlook
installed
but can not find its normal folder list with Email, Contacts, etc, and
nothing I do seems to be able to ressurrect that.

If I can not get this resolved, I am gone, to something else, I am not
sure
what, maybe Open Office, I am just not going to stay here unless my
porblems
can be resolved.

I do not mneed Outlook for mail, TBird handles mail beautifully. I
need
Outlook for its Contact lists, which i use at home and at work.
