1. Uninstall any Office 2007 demo or not.
2. Disable UAC, install Office or outlook 2003. Works super here.
In parting my brother noticed his crashing and traced it to a change in "ports used" by his email server.
not sure if this is the right place- but i keep having a problem with outlook quitting for no reason.
