Post to the same thread. We have no idea what you're writing about.

at the very least, include the post you are replying to so we have a clue as
to what problem you are experiencing.

FWIW, outlook 2002 is long past it's support time frame and there is no
reason to insure Vista works with it and there will not be a patch to fix
whatever this mystery problem is. It's a problem you'll have with many
applications when you upgrade the OS but install old, outdated applications.

You know, what you say may well be correct about it being past and old but
you dont address the issue of why the heck Vista deleted passwords and will
not keep them in Outlook 2002. Why was there EVER a reason to do that? You
would expect the update wouldnt touch that in an upgrade version. Also,
what's the problem with maintaining compatibility? They are going to keep
important security updates going for W2K till 2010 but they cant just fix
this problem with a YOUNGER program? There seems to be something wrong with
your statement when you take that into account. I am not having a go at you
BTW but let's be fair - if they are going to call something now about 5
years old out of date then why not something older?

We can't read minds - you need to tell us what the problem is, not reply to
someone else's message and then not include their message.

Any time you upgrade an OS, you risk losing saved passwords because the new
OS replaces much of the registry and that's where the passwords are stored.
Any time you upgrade the OS you take a chance that older software will not
work with it. It's not just outlook - many other applications will have
problems with the new OS too.

Outlook 2002/Vista. You cannot get Outlook 2002, no matter what you do, to
remember passwords. You can enter them and so long as Outlook 2002 stays
running it is OK. Exit the program and come back in and it wants passwords
all over again. You can tick REMEMBER and you can even go to Email Accounts
and enter there and tick to remember but the result is the same - it doesnt.

Any time you upgrade an OS, you risk losing saved passwords because the
new OS replaces much of the registry and that's where the passwords are
stored. Any time you upgrade the OS you take a chance that older software
will not work with it. It's not just outlook - many other applications
will have problems with the new OS too.


I understand that but I took it from what you said that Outlook 2002 wont be
looked at and as I pointed out, they are actually keeping critical updates
for W2K going till 2010 so why not fix a major blunder that has happened to
a younger program and allow it to keep passwords? I have 27 email accounts,
some for various non work reasons but some for work and some for personal.
It is annoying, to say the least, that I have to fill in passwords all the
time.

Just think how bad you would feel if you had just purchased QuickBooks 2006.
It won't run on Vista! Intuit has no plans to attempt to make it work. It's
all about Vista rightfully preventing data mucking in the Program Files
Folder as QuickBooks has done for years. Their stance may increase revenue,
and then again some of my acquaintences are switching to Microsoft's Office
Accounting Express 2007. It's funny the loyalties that have been built up
over the years can be extinguished in a minute.

He's telling you that not all programs, including some newly released ones,
are supported on Vista. It's life - it happens every time a new OS comes
out.

Microsoft only supports Office 2003 and 2007 on Vista. They do not provide
support and updates for programs long out of the support lifecycle unless
you have a long standing support contact - and that's what the extended
support for Windows 2000 requires. Hotfixes, such as for the upcoming US and
CAN daylight time updates, are not publicly available for Windows 2000.

Once again - Microsoft are going to support W2K till 2010 with critical
updates so why wont they support a 2 years younger program with something as
critical as its inability to remember passwords?

Microsoft only supports Office 2003 and 2007 on Vista. They do not provide
support and updates for programs long out of the support lifecycle unless

If it is out of life cycyle then W2K would be, too but it isnt and as yet I
havent read that Outlook 2002 is out of life cycle. It isnt that I dont
believe you that it is out but is there somewhere at Microsoft that says
that?

you have a long standing support contact - and that's what the extended
support for Windows 2000 requires. Hotfixes, such as for the upcoming US
and CAN daylight time updates, are not publicly available for Windows
2000.

Critical updates for problems such as holes that hackers may find in the
future will be patched by Microsoft until 2010 so they say on their web site
(though not in those words). This is a CRITICAL issue for Outlook 2002.
