While using the Outlook Contacts Folder I keep
getting
a window pop up that says "A program is trying to
access
e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do
you want
to allow this?" I checked No and it won't go
away. I chose
5 minutes and it went away and came back. Any
idea what's
happening and how to repair it ?

It is the very well documented Email Security feature that was implemented
in Outlook 8 years ago. You must be running something very outdated to be
getting this prompt.

Yes Russ, it is old. Microsoft Office Pro 2000.
I have used Outlook Exp but wanted to switch to
Outlook. It started up
fine the first time and I was able to import my
Outlook Exp
address book. Then the next time I started
Outlook up I got
the msg. I had to use Task Mgr to end the program,
it would
not close normally.
I thought it might have something to do with
Outlook
Exp, so I changed all settings to show Outlook.
I went to the link you gave me and tried all the
updates. MS Updates said they were already
installed. It shows I have
ver 9.0.8961 - SP3. Any more suggestions. Can't
afford an
upgrade of Office.

Suggest reading the article I posted so you can figure out which application
is causing the problem.

Well Russ, I reviewed your link and spent all day
reviewing
Microsoft and Goggle for help. The conclusion I
get is that
Microsoft caused the problem but isn't going to
issue a fix.
I found a page on MS titled; "Problem cause by
Microsoft Ofc
2000: consider upgrading". At whose expense?
They did say
that support was extended until 2009.
Is there anyway I can remove the offending updates
and take
my Outlook back to where it was, working? or Can
I just
completely remove it from my laptop and then
reinstall it and
not do the updates that caused the problem in the
first place.
Guess I'm getting old, I started using their
products in 1984,
but MS isn't what it used to be when it started
and they were
concerned about their customers.

Incorrect conclusion. Microsoft had to add the security measures. They are
not the cause of the problem.The cause of the problem is some application or
add-in you are running that is so outdated it has not kept up with any of
the current versions of Outlook. Only you know what else you are running on
your computer that might be trying to access Outlook.

By "add-in" do mean something I have added to
Outlook Exp or Outlook or just something on my
computer ? What is an add-in
as I don't usually add on something, My programs
are pretty basic ones. I'm not a gamer or you
tube, my space etc. How would I got about finding
what "add-in" is causing the problem ? Since the
msg says something is trying to access my "email
addresses" I would assume it has something to do
with either program.
Thanks in advance for all your help on this.

It could be something like Adobe Acrobat or one of the common zip programs.
If you click ToolsOptionsOtherAdvanced Options (if Outlook 2000 even has
that), there may be a coupld of add-in management buttons there. See what
you have.

Thanks Brian.....I assume the
"click ToolsOptionsOtherAdvanced
Options....should be
done from Outlook ? Can't do that as the
original problem, the
box that says, "A program is trying to access
e-mail addresses
you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow
this?" comes
up and Outlook freezes so I can't get to the
tools.....

I have tried all day to restore to an earlier
point and none of
them would work. Thought maybe that would get rid
of my
problem.

See if this tool will point you to the add-in that's interfering:
http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/security/ . You can then uninstall the
add-in.
