If you have the original Vista disks you bought you don't need any other CD.

There's info about the problem on the internet, saying basically that there's a conflict with Office. The solution suggested was to click on the Mail icon in the control panel. When I do so, I get the message "You need more memory or systems resources. Close some windows and try again." But hardly any resources are being used.

I think the problem may have been caused by installing Office 97. I did it by accident. I'm having problems uninstalling it. There's a side bar which is still there even after uninstallation. If I try to unclick the only option chosen in the list, it says a toolbar must be there.

And even after this partial uninstall, I'm still getting the insufficient memory message.

What can I do?


After the last message, I repeated the uninstall, this time successfully. (I retained the shared componets.) I now see that Office 97 had the Outlook stuff on it. After rebooting, the Microsoft Outlook icon had gone. (And I still get the insufficient memory message.)

Even worse news. When the machine was automatically installing Vista, I didn't get a Create a Vista CD option (I don't think). So I don't have a back up of the OS I bought this morning.

Help!
