I allowed some updates to Vista Home yesterday and Outlook 2002 SP3
appeared!

You first posted the above on 25 Sept-07. What updates were installed on 24 Sept-07?

Did you upgrade to Vista Home Premium? If not, was a free-trial version of MS Office or MS Works preinstalled on the machine when you bought it and is the machine still under warranty?

Ah PA you may be referring to the notorious update that several in this
group claim not to understand. I was not offered and do not have this
update. I must assume that some deamon snuck in at night and gave me
Outlook 2002. I would have preferred the deamon to have left me a much
later version <g>.

There is no way that OL 2002 was installed by Office 2003 SP3.

Hello Mow,
Outlook 2002 appeared on my system yesterday after doing updates. Never
was
there before which made me wonder if MS is now giving it away. So that's
what it is and I'm not sure what to do with it. Wierd don't you think?

Lynda,

First you state that Office has never been on the system and then you
state that you're going to uninstall Outlook, which is a component of
Office. So, which is it ?

appeared! Office has never been on this pc nor any readers or anything
else showing in Programs and Features. Today I got offered 11 updates
for Office XP and Outlook. Can anyone think of a cause for this? If
not
I'll uninstall Outlook and hope the updates go away.
