That's an interesting problem.
Outlook and Word have the same problem because Outlook uses Word as its default mail editor. So, when you "create a new e-mail," you are in essence opening Word. So, I would focus on Word having some sort of problem.
Usually a reinstall seems like it would fix this problem.
However, seems how you tried that I would also suggest that you install all service packs and updates for Microsoft office from microsoft.com. I believe Office 2003 is at Service Pack 3 now. http://www.microsoft...;displaylang=en
I would try it from a different user account on your computer and see if the problem still persists. It could be a personal setting and will help you narrow it down. If the problem occurs in the other user account as well then it is a global setting and you can focus on that. What I mean by this statement is that there are two different places in the registry where settings would be stored. Those settings are often not removed during a reinstall. By knowing which place, you could potentially delete those settings while performing a reinstall of Office to eliminate your issue. I don't suggest that you do this without guidance as messing with the registry can cause unintended consequences.
