Default .PST Folder

Creating a new profile made me think I should run the Repair on Outlook. I
did and it worked. Go figure! Now, like so many others, I need to save my
Outlook contact from 2003 to 2002. So far I haven't been able to understand
the instructions.....maybe my brain is on overload! Thanks Russ!

How did you "remove" Office 2003? What instructions did you follow?
Normally one would create a new profile from scratch any time they change
Outlook versions. It is to only way to reconnect to your data file
correctly. In many cases, you must uninstall both the trial and the original
Office version completely, then reinstall the original to get things
working. I have no idea how this trial version should have been handled. I
trust you do since you must have read all the warnings very carefully.

There is no information here.
"Took off trial" means what exactly? Spare us no detail.
"When I try to open PST Folder" means what exactly. Ibid.
How you installed the trial and how you reverted to an earlier version
must
be specified.
