Hi Lloyd
Real shame, it appears you tried everything.
I have Outlook stable right now - but can't install OBM - or I will get OOM
message.
I am disappointed win 7 didn't solve it.
I am now investigating a mac through a friend of mine. I believe he can help
me with a database that helps me maintain my mail, contacts and docs -
basically crm - so I don't have to put up with OBM tagged onto Outlook like a
mold growth.
Thanks Lloyd.
