Default How do I COMPLETELY remove Outlook 2007?

There are no moderators for this news group - it is all strictly peer-to-peer.

| Hello again,
|
| As I said in my last post, I thought that I might be on to something
| and I was. Since the problem showed up after running some Windows
| Updates last week (coincidental?, perhaps), I thought that I would
| try something perhaps a little risky. I looked at the updates
| installed, looked at M$ site to see what was happening with the
| updates and decided that this one: MS07-058: Security Update for
| Windows (KB933729) was most likely the culprit since it was fixing a
| problem with RPC, which Outlook/Exchange uses. So, I uninstalled
| this update and my problem was resolved. I don’t really know if
| leaving it uninstalled will cause a great security risk or not, but I
| don’t think that I have much of a choice; unless I want to use the
| web interface all of the time (no thank you).
|
| I don't know if a moderator can sum all of this up into a more usable
| format for the rest of the users, but it might be worth it. I can't
| imagine that I'm the only person to have suffered/be suffering this
| specific problem.
|
| Thanks for your help,
| Henry

||

||

|| and see what happens.
