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.
