I bought a homeuser edition of office.

When I want to use outlook my productkey is asked. The productkey that I received with my purchase does not work.
I do not have problems using Excel or Word.

Can someone help me with getting outlook working again or backup-ing my e-mail and addresses from outlook so I can re-install office.

Thanks.

Dennis

You can try programs such as Belarc Advisor or S.I.W. They list the keys of software already installed on your computer.

Have you tried the repair function in Office?

I can't offer any more ideas. I don't use Outlook or Office. I use Open Office which is free and compatible with Office documents
