I believe you mean the /safe switch in instruction number 4.
Also, I have found that a number of folks who upgrade a previous
installation of Office/Outlook will need to create a new profile in Outlook
2003 as the old profile seems to corrupt during the upgrade. this fixes a
number of complaints I have seen in the news groups.

| 1) try running scanpst.exe on your Personal Folder
|
| 2) try renaming outcmd.dat to .old and restart Outlook. All the
| Toolbars will reset then. This is quite a common probem with Outlook
| . The default location for this file is C:\Documents and
| Settings\%username%\APPLICATION DATA\Microsoft\Outlook
|
| 3) try recreating the profile in Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show
| Profiles
|
| 4) try running Outlook with the /save swith from your Run window.
| When this works run Help-> Detect and Repair.
|
| 5) try disabling individual add-ons in Tools-> Options-> tab Other->
| button Advanced E-mail Options...
