Guest Lee Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I am running Outlook 2003 with busines contact manager. Have been for years. The update manager said there was an update for the business contact manager for Outlook and I ran it. It hung totally on installing something like SQL server small business edition. I had to kill the install. I rebooted the computer and re-did the install (it seemed ok) and ran outlook and was requested to either start new BCM database or use an exisiting one. Both options failed to work on multiple attempts. I assume SQL server SBE or similar didn't install properly, but checking for updates said my system was up to date. I then uninstalled the BCM for outlook update which seemed to uninstall BCM as well. I then re-installed BCM for the original Office CD. Outlook now crashes on every boot. the BCM for office update says I don't have a valid version. So now I don't have BCM at all. But I do have backups of my BCM database (MSBusinessContactManager.ldf and MSBusinessContactManager.mdf) Please help!
