Hmmm, interestingly one of my customers kids decided to download the beta version of Office onto their main family PC. Buggy it was, as it crashed all the time so they uninstalled it and re-installed Office 2003. However this did not return their old version to a usable working one, as the outlook.pst file was altered in such a way that Office 2003 read it as corrupt.

I was not able to repair the pst file using scanpst.exe even though the utility said it was corrupt and had been repaired. Hence all I could retrieve from his old pst was his contacts, which I was able to export to a csv file and import into a new pst.

Moral: Don't install beta software on production computers or ones that are used for important work.

Another delay? i also had to remove office 2007 beta from a pc after it crashed everything.. had to wipe the drive clean and start again so like harry says keep away from it for a while more.

I guess this means that nothing is perfect.
