Well, thanks for all the information! I'll try to get things right this
time.
Looking at my organiser specification, it says I need Outlook
98,2000,2002,or 2003 to be able to synchronise. From what I read from
your replies it seems that I need not have uninstalled the Office 2007
Home and Student Edition, if I had known that neither Outlook Express
nor Outlook were installed by the program.
I am currently left with Outlook Express to uninstall so that I can
install one of the above versions, as I mentioned, it is not sufficient
to remove Outlook by the "Add or Remove Windows Components".
Grateful for any help...

Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition installed.This installs
Outlook Express along with the other Office programs and it cannot be
uninstalled by itself. When I uninstalled Office it left Outlook behind
and I cannot find any way to uninstall it. The old version of Outlook
will not install because it sees the newer version still installed. I
disabled Outlook using "Add or Remove Windows Components" but the old
version still would not install.
I have searched for a way to completely remove the 2007 version but
have been unsuccessful. Could someone point me towards instructions for
the uninstall procedure? I am using WinXP SP2.
