microsoft.public.outlook.general

Okay, how about posting them countless + 1 times :-) I tried googling but I
must not be using the right keywords because I can't find anything. Even
though I have some backups, it's been way too long since I did the upgrade and
this was the first time I realized there was a problem so a backup wouldn't do
much good. Is there a way to install the upgrade as a clean install? Looks
like I may have to just start from scratch.
