Default Outlook 2002 and Windows 7 password problem

After upgrading from XP to Win7 I installed Office XP.
Everything installed without a problem until I ran Outlook. Every time
I started Outlook my passwords were awol.
I looked at various forums and discovered this is a known problem
since Vista was introduced.
I am happy with Word and Excel XP and I really don't want to buy an a
new expensive Office just because of this incompatibility!
Does anyone have a fix or are there any alternative solutions
available?

Try using Outlook in corporate/workgroup mode. Since Office XP is now 8
years old, it's not supported on newer OS's.

Outlook 2002/XP didn't have any separate IMO/CW configuration anymore ;-)
The password issue cannot be solved by any native solution. The OP can use
scripting tools and some password managers to fill in the password
automatically each time the prompt pops-up.

Since the password prompt only occurs once per Outlook session, the OP can
also leave Outlook running during the day.

Why was there was no mention of this when I ran the Win 7 upgrade
advisor!

I would have delayed the upgrade until I had an alternative!
