The article intends to describe the procedure of reinstalling Microsoft Outlook using simple instructions. The instructions described in the article are simple and correct to the date. It is still recommended that you use instructions carefully to avoid facing any common Microsoft Outlook problem during or after reinstallation.

Microsoft Outlook is the most widely used email client among Windows users. Currently in the version 2010, Outlook has given users the freedom of creating and managing email accounts, contact lists, journals, attachments, and other personal information. However, users often face problems while using Outlook and thus decide to uninstall and reinstall the program. Though the reinstallation procedure is similar to the initial installation procedure, some users may still feel the need of an expert Microsoft tech support that guides them from the beginning to the end. However, users can reinstall Outlook using this step-by-step guide.

Instructions:

Using the installation disk:

First ensure that Outlook has been totally removed from your system. Here, we also assume that you have already backed up your Outlook data for importing later into Outlook. If you didn’t backup your Outlook data before un-installation, you won’t have access to your Outlook data after Outlook has been reinstalled. Let’s begin with the installation process.

Insert the Office installation disk into the CDDVD-ROM drive of your computer, close any window that pops up automatically after inserting the disk, and double click on the My Computer icon on the desktop. Locate the CDDVD-ROM icon of the drive and double click on it. It will automatically launch the setup process. When finished, double click on the Setup icon to start the installation. Follow the wizard instructions, select Outlook from the listed Microsoft Office components, enter all the necessary information such as product key, accept the license agreement, and complete the process. When prompted, reboot the computer. It is must to reboot the computer. Otherwise, the installation won’t be completed.

Without the installation disk:

It is not possible to reinstall Outlook without the installation disk. If you have misplaced the disk, then you must contact Microsoft support services for the replacement media. If you downloaded the product from Microsoft’s website and never with a disk, then you must look through your mails or data to find out the link that you initially downloaded Outlook from. If you don’t have access to that link, then contact Microsoft support services for the link or installation disk. You will be required to present your original proof of purchaseshipment to Microsoft in order to prove that you are already a user of the particular program.

Additional Tips:

If you purchased Outlook as a standalone product, then install it using its own disc and not the Office disk.

You must have access to your product key to reinstall whichever Outlook version you have. If you downloaded Outlook from Microsoft’s website, then you must have got the product key in your email. If you have misplaced the product key and are unable to find it, download an automatic (free or paid) tool from a trusted website to find out the product key. It is recommended that you download such program from only trusted websites in order to avoid carrying virus infections into your computer. Usually, product key is printed on the back or inside of the CD case.

The chi-square distribution is commonly used to make inferences about a population variance.

If a population follows the normal distribution, you can draw a sample of size N from this distribution and form the sum of the squared standardized scores (chi-square). This random variable chi-square follows the chi-square probability distribution with n degrees of freedom (df ), where n is a positive integer equal to N-1. The degrees of freedom parameter determines the shape of the distribution. With more degrees of freedom, the skew is less.

CHIDIST

The CHIDIST function returns the area in the upper tail of the chi-square distribution. You use the CHIDIST function the same way you would use a chi-square distribution table. The CHIDIST function uses the following syntax:

=CHIDIST (x, df)

For example, if you pull a random sample of 16 from a population and want to find the probability of a sample chi-square value (x) 25 or larger, you would enter:

=CHIDIST (25,15)

The function returns the value 0.049943, meaning that a value of 25 or more should in the long run occur about five times in a hundred.

CHIINV

You can use the CHIINV function to create confidence interval estimates of a population variance. That is, you use the CHIDIST function if you know x and want to find the probability, and you use the CHIINV function if you have a probability and want to find x. For example, if you’re creating a product and weigh a sample of 18 units to find a sample variance of 0.36, you may want to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population variance for the product. With a sample size of 18, you have 17 degrees of freedom.

To find the upper limit, enter:

=CHIINV (0.95,17)

To find the lower limit, enter:

=CHIINV (0.05,17)

These formulas return the values 8.67175 and 27.5871. Multiply the sample variance of 0.36 by the degrees of freedom and divide this product by each of the values returned from the CHIINV function to find the lower and upper limits of the confidence interval. You can take the square root of these values to establish interval estimates of the population standard deviation.

CHITEST

The chi-square test is used to test independence of two variables. You can use the chi-square test to determine whether there is a significant difference between observed and expected frequencies. For example, if you want to find out whether soft drink preference differs between male and female drinkers, you can construct a null hypothesis that soft drink preference is independent of the gender of the drinker, and create a worksheet range, or table, of expected results based on a sample of 93 male drinkers and 85 female drinkers. You can then create a table of the results of the actual study findings.

TIP: You can use the Microsoft Excel Fisher’s test function instead of the chi-square test for analyzing contingency tables with two rows and two columns. Fisher’s test always returns the exact P value, whereas the chi-square test returns only an approximate p value. Definitely avoid the chi-square test when the numbers in the contingency table are very small (in the single digits).

The CHITEST formula uses the following syntax:

=CHITEST (actual range, expected range)

where actual range is the data in the actual sample results table and expected range is the data from the expected results table.

The formula returns the p-value. You reject the null hypothesis if this value is less than your level of significance alpha. So if your level of significance is .05, you would reject it, but not if your level of significance is .025 or .01. The test for independence is a one-tailed test, so a level of significance of .05 corresponds with a 95% confidence level.
