Outlook 2007 Beta – Crashing

I’m frequently getting crashes when using Outlook 2007 Beta. They seem to occur frequently when I hit “Reply” for an e-mail. I’ll submit the error to Microsoft and the program will restart and everything will work fine then.
This last time I ran the Microsoft Office Diagnostics tests and didn’t get any results after the various scans.
Has anyone else run into these problems? Anyone got any ideas? I was actually prompted to download a patch to Adobe Acrobat Reader as it was recommended. The patch was 17MB! That’s one, big patch man! What’s the deal with Adobe Reader’s burgeoning file size? The trial for 7.0 was 115MB! I don’t want to hear anyone complain of bloated file sizes if they’re using Adobe products. “Hello, Pot? This is Kettle, you’re black!”
[UPDATE: Whew! This is happening on pretty much every other reply/restart combo. I must be really patient though, because it reports, shuts-down and restarts the application so quick, it's really not too annoying.]
I installed the office 2007 in parallele with the old system, and was not aware that Outlook was not available anymore? Does someone know how I can run Outlook on my system again , I don’t care if it is the old or new system?
My previous system was with Outlook 2002
Here are the detailed/exact steps to fix the creash issue:
1. Go to Tools menu in Outlook 2007
2. Click on Trust Center…
3. Click on Add-ins
4. Click on Go…button down the bottom
5. Uncheck PDFMOutlook checkbox, then click OK
That’s it. All well now. Hope this helps.
i run the 2007 beta and first it looked ok then it hangs everytime due to i thunk incompatibility 2003 version is still on as well and the rss feeds eat a heap
can anyone help i find beta and live nice prodcuts if they work
I found a remedy on the snagit help site.

“Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins and change the load behavior for Acrobat, SnagIt or other non-Microsoft add-ins to 0. “
Mel! You’re amazing, I’m a loyal SnagIt user and to think that was one of the reasons is great. Thanks for finding this, I don’t think I would have ever thought to question it without your suggestion.
I have just unticked the PDFMoutlook button. Hope it works for me too! This started after I did updates. Had the most annoying three days of my life!!
I trust it will function normally now.
Disabled PDF addin and it works PERFECTLy…
thanks thanks thanks.
SEE 11. Rafi’s response…

Go to “Tools”… “Trust Center”…..”Add-ins”… Remove PDF-Outlook add in…
Thanks guys for the advise….

I removed Business contact manager and the crashes stopped.
MEL!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The regedit fix was PERFECT. I had tried all the others, but that did the trick! I’ve been without Outlook for three days!
Kudos!!!
I’m having trouble getting Outlook 2007 to open. Everytime I try to open Outlook it crashes. The only thing I have relating to Adobe installed on my machine is the Adobe Flash player ActiveX control. Any suggestions?
in the last week (i.e. since around start of March) its gone from a great, stable program to a major source of frustration that crashes every few minutes. it recovers my drafted emails about 50% of the time so i have lost a lot of work over that time.
i hope they fix it soon as i can’t easily revert to Outlook 2003…!
