A devil of a time with Outlook

[Michael Byrnes]

Installed Office 2007 (WGA enabled) on new Acer notebook, Vista Home
Premium, and 2 issues effect Outlook:

1. MSVCR80.dll not found ... other message boards posted a solution that
seemed to be specific to Acer... by "set the LoadBehavior to 0" relating to
Acer's eSystemSecurity add-on... and this, indeed worked...

2. But I have one other issue that I have not been able to solve: when
attempting to press the SIGNATURES button in Options/Mail Format... an error
applet appears "Microsoft Office Outlook has stopped working"... it hangs
for about 10 seconds... then I have access to Outlook again... though
without having accessed the signatures design menu...

Does anyone have workarounds for this?

Thanks

Okay... figured it out... created a new shortcut... and "ran as
administrator"... this now works... hmmmm

And does it work now without running it as an administrator? If not, you
have a serious flaw in your configuration or are using badly written addins.

Roady... I need another pot of coffee to experiment with outlook again...
but I shall... my gut instinct is (in part, because I've installed
successfully Office 2007 and Outlook on a second machine that was neither an
Acer (with eDataSecurity), nor had the Office 2007 trial version installed
by the OEM), that first deleting office2007 student trial, as I did, was the
mistake... next clean install, I'll try installing over trial version.
Somewhere between these two slices of bread is a sandwich...

Office Home and Student Edition doesn't come with Outlook ;-)
But enjoy the coffee first! :-D
