It means you deliberately installed Office 2007 in a partition that was
already running Office XP without first removing Office XP completely. Doing
so relies upon the new Office installation routine to remove your old
version successfully and replace it with the new version. Microsoft likes to
pretend this scenario works. In my experience it doesn't. I would never
install one Office version over another. If you did so and yet still had the
ability to "remove" Office XP, you are supporting my contention. If the
Office 2007 installation had been successful, you should have seen no
remnant of Office XP. Apparently, what you actually did and what you
actually saw remains in question.

I'm pretty sure. Maybe not though, but definately after installing the
2007
Beta... Oh wait, I just check the install history through windows system
restore utility and it shows the last thing I did was "Removed Microsoft
Office XP Professional with FrontPage" I've never heard the term "in place
upgrade" so I'm not sure exactly what you mean with that.

Did you really uninstall Office XP after you did an in place upgrade to

I have B2TR installed. I didn't know about the inbox repair tool
(thanks).
I
ran it and it found some errors. I clicked repair and have a backup and
log
file now, but still the same problem.

Clues are trickling in. Uninstalling Office XP after an upgrade

what
I
suggested and would not help. Repair the data file with the Inbox
Repair
Tool (assuming you have B2TR installed).

I had some additional programs like front page that were part of the
xp
installation left over that I uninstalled later. The add/remove
programs
still had it listed as office xp. I used the repair feature of
office
2007
beta from add/remove programs.

This doesn't fit. If you did an upgrade installation from Office XP
to
the
beta, there would be no Office XP to "uninstall."
You repaired your file, right, not your installation?

I had office xp pro installed, installed the beta and just
continued
using
the same .pst file. I don't know of any other way. Sometime later
I
uninstalled office xp pro.

I just did a repair, no luck so I deleted my profile and created
another.
It's still asking me if I want to save changes as previously
described
though
I didn't make any. Everything else is working perfectly.

How did you migrate your data to the beta? Have you tried what I
