new pc so loaded a trial version of outlook 2007, but don't want to
upgrade and want to stick with office outlook XP.

i think i made an error by not loading outlook XP first on this
computer, and wonder how to revert without losing content/data that's
now part of outlook 2007.

do i delete 2007 then load XP?

thanks all.

no you don't "delete", you uninstall. And the uninstall SHOULD keep your
data intact, but as in everything, backup just in case

Outlook 2002 is not compatible with Vista. It can be used, but it will
constantly prompt you for your mail account credentials. Moreover, if you
created data in Outlook 2007, chances are, it won't be compatible with
Outlook 2002. You'll first have to move any data in the PST to an Outlook
2002-compatible PST.

I forgot to add this link. While is says "Outlook 2003", it applies to
Outlook 2007 as well.

Hmm. the phrase "new PC" doesn't necessarily mean "Vista" - most of the
large OEMs are STILL offering new PCs with XP......

loki is using Vista and posting with Thunderbird, And you are using Win XP version 6.00.2900.3138. The properties of the posts show the latter

well that's fine but a) the OP never said so, and b) we shouldn't have to
look at message properties to find out something that is PRETTY relevant to
the OP's question - should we?

You are correct, but the majority of new PCs have Vista on them, so I felt
fairly safe in making the assumption.
