The proper way to reinstall BCM 2007?
Nebulous
0 / 1 21 Apr 2010
I've had an Outlook chrashing problem for several months. After observing it for a while, and after trying several things that didn't work, I believe the issue is with BCM -- and more specifically has to do with links I built between my BCM contacts and calendar entries. I'd like to remove and reinstall BCM to see if that is the case. Importantly, the only features I use of BCM are...

Katrine, You need to download the full version and this means you get two big files. However, as you are only interested in BCM, you need to double-click on the small file only (254 MB) to install BCM. I can also confirm that the downloaded version is a full version (not some trial version!). You don't need to buy anything provided you have already bought Outlook 2007. Microsoft...
