    Actually, uninstall does not work either.  I have spent over 8 hours with 5 different Dell techs in either chat rooms or on telephone where they have taken over my pc.  They cannot seem to fix the problem by uninstalling either.  My outlook 2013 freezes at loading profiles and the only way it works is to work in safe mode.  Word, excel all work ok.  It eventually opens after several hours, but then individual emails will not open unless you control/alt/delete. 

    Dell actually completely wiped out the original Office 2013 registry keys.  The issue is Office 2013.  I am thinking that I should revert to 2010 to see if that helps better.  Dell has basically said there is nothing they can do and I should deal with Microsoft.  Microsoft says since it was a preinstalled product, I need to deal with Dell.  No one takes responsibility.

    And the office killer above was used and we reinstalled office 2013 and my outlook still does not work
