I recently installed office 2003 pro, and when opening Outlook everything appears fine. when I go to create an appointment, or add a contact, the form opens on top of the calendar or contacts like it should, although parts of the screen below appear in the form, making it nearly impossible to manage.
I've already tried deleting and reinstalling office.
Any suggestions???

Have you got a screen shot?

I hope this helps.
Thanks

Hmmm... I've only seen that when a network connection is slow and the programs are on a server!

Anyone else have an idea? I don't

Looking at your image again... are you running Windows Blinds? Or some other theme-creating software?

Turn it off and see what happens.

Well the original version of outlook was 2000 and it came from the server. I do not use any theme creating software. I was thinking it's a registry key either missing or wrong, but I wouldn't know how to check for integrity.
Thanks

Well that gold theme isn't part of the standard XP package If it's a case of a missing reg key a simple reinstall of Outlook would sort that...

Looks more like a graphics driver issue to me. Or perhaps the system is lacking in RAM. Both problems can cause display issues. If you're running Windows XP with Office 2003 Professional, you're going to be needing at least 256MB RAM and probably more like 512MB. Do you know how to check the amount of RAM that you have and the amount that Windows is trying to use?

To see if there are any updated Microsoft-certified graphics drivers for your PC, go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Choose the Custom option and, in the menu on the left, it will identify any available graphics driver updates in the Hardware section.

Let us know if that helps

Ooops, didn't think of the RAM thing

Well, Happy Beaver, You were right as to the theme. Some one did something with a program named tune up utilities.
DJNafey the ram is all set as well as any updates.
Thanks to both of you. It was driving me crazy.
