Downgrading from Office 2007 Beta to Office 2003

After having many issues with Office 2007, I decided to downgrade to 2003. I found that uninstalling 2007 and installing 2003 went smoothly until I tried to load outlook.

Problem
Outlook just crashed right after I put in my server name and credentials. To make matters worse, the error was not specific. It would reload in safe mode and do nothing. After combing the web and coming across a few posts/sites I finally (with everyones help) got it working.

Resolution
In C:\program files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 -


 * 1) Rename MSMAPI32.DLL to MSMAPI32_OLD.DLL
 * 2) Rename MAPISVC.INF to MAPISVC_OLD.INF
 * 3) Restart Outlook and everything comes back up.
