Please Help - Trying to Reinstall or Fix

I have changed ISP & would like to use Outlook with my new ISP. Unfortunety
I had MSN & OL Connector & cannot connect to my new ISP. If I uninstall the
Connector - Outlook will not open Error Outlook cannot open because it
cannot find the folders. ok System Restore fixed this. Seemed a
reinstall of Outlook was my only option. I uninstalled & then reinstalled &
got the same error. ok System Restore again. Next I uninstalled Office 2003
& reinstalled. Still the same thing. Outlook could not open cannot find
folders blah blah. I went to uninstall Office again NOW it will not let me
change or uninstall. Error The patch could not be found, verify the
patch exists and that I can access, contact the vender to verify it is a
valid Windows Patch???? What happened????? How can fix this?? Seems this
problem gets worse with each step I take. Thanks

Thank you so much I am now able to access re-install, uninstall ect. w/o that
error message. However, Outlook still has the Connector. Can you help with
getting rid of Outlook Connector?? I'm afraid if I remove Connector again, I
will begin this never-ending cycle all over. ie. I remove Connector- Error:
Outlook cannot open - cannot find folders. Thanks

PS. If I use this same tool to remove Connector will that do the trick? It
will remove Connector from my computer which I no longer need, but still
leave Outlook intact?

Since when was Outlook an ISP?! Do you even know what ISP stands for?

I'm afraid you are mistaken, Outlook is NOT an ISP. Perhaps you should start
with Computer Training 101, or better yet check this site:
