[Spambayes] SpamBayes crashes Outlook 2003

[Mike Schinkel]

Thanks for the email.

>> (You mentioned running both 2003 and XP at the same time, so I
figured you might be doing that).

Actually, I installed 2003 and told it to upgrade XP.  The installer
removed all of Office XP except it left Outlook XP for some reason (I'm
kinda glad because SpamBayes still works in Outlook XP though the
upgrade disabled most other functionality in Outlook XP, i.e. the
ability to send email!)

>> is with a *complete* removal reinstallation

Do you know how to actually do that?  As far as I know, if I uninstall
it still leaves tons of files and registry settings.  I really don't
want to have to rebuilt my machine; I just did so and it took me over a
week before I had everything moved over!

No it doesn't. At least not in general.

On the 12-15 machines I've installed it on (Windows XP SP1 + all
security fixes, Outlook 2003 + all fixes) version 0.81 works like a
charm.

I would suggest that there might be a problem with your Office 2003
installation, or your system in general. Often the easiest way to fix
things like this is with a *complete* removal reinstallation. In my
(fairly robust) experience, running side-by-side installations of two
versions of office is a recipe for disaster on any machine. (You
mentioned running both 2003 and XP at the same time, so I figured you
might be doing that).
