I installed Office XP on my new Vista Home Premium machine. Outlook works
fine, but the system won't keep the e-mail account password. I am using POP and SMTP. Any ideas how to correct this? |

Thanks for the info. Again Microsoft doesn't seem to want to support its
users. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You can't. http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/vista.htm -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "l-srothstein" wrote in message ...

I don't understand why you would upgrade an entire operating system without
checking to see if an application that has been years out of mainstream support would still work. Ultimately, the end user is the one who must take responsibility for making wise purchase decisions. As a general rule one should never upgrade an OS if any of the software they need to use is more than 2 years old. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "l-srothstein" wrote in message ...

There is a download available on the MS site that provides for the missing
file. The download is called Outlook Connector - you can give it a try but so far I haven't been able to get it to work either - "l-srothstein" wrote: I installed Office XP on my new Vista Home Premium machine.

Russ,
I have the same challenge with password retention. What I am hoping I can do is install Office 2007 and upgrade my Outlook 2002 at the same time. Is that possible without losing my emails, tasks, calendar, etc.? I have a new Windows Vista computer but I am unsure which version of Office I need to purchase in order to achieve this objective.

Both Outlook 2003 and 2007 are fully supported on Vista and obviate this
problem. In theory, an upgrade installation of Office should work and leave your data intact. Microsoft even claims it does. In reality, it does not work well for Outlook, and for that reason I never recommend it. I recommend backing up all your Outlook data carefully, installing a new Office version clean, then migrating your Outlook data to your new installation. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Gene" wrote in message ...

Russ,
Thanks for the tips. Is "migrating" the same as exporting and importing? Gene "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Both Outlook 2003 and 2007 are fully supported on Vista and obviate this problem.

Decidedly not. Migrating is the same as transferring, which should never
involve exporting and importing. The links I posted provide the proper instructions for transferring Outlook data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Gene" wrote in message ...
