Outlook 2003 refuses to open after having just been installed and tells me
that MAPI32.dll is either corrupt or the wrong version. What can I do please
?

Post complete information, including if you just uninstalled the
Outlook/Office 2007 beta. If yes, the archives of this group have
instructions for getting Office/Outlook 2003 working again.
groups.google.com has the better search interface.

and to re-install Outlook. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2003 six
time today and just don't know whatelse I can do. Can you help further ?

Start Windows in Safe mode and rename msmapi32.dll to .old. Then open
Outlook and it should run a detect and repair and replace the old file with
a good new one.
