I had enormous problems with BCM under Office 2003. With 2007 it works
just fine. I can't do much with the rest of your information I'm
afraid. Can't remember anyone ever asked to show them. Did you do all
the usual tricks? Did you remove the SXL server as well under
'software'? Maybe you should also reinstall Outlook? I can remember
that BCM uses all sorts of files on the harddisk. Did you remove the
maps of BCM under Documents and Settings? You could even throw out all
occurrances of BCM in the registry, although that can be tricky. So,
DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.
Probably you have done all this. I understand your desperateness. This
newsgroup isn't very active I'm afraid. BCM is not very popular.
