Installing Outlook 2000 with Vista?

[JohnO]

I tried installing Outlook 2000 on a PC running Vista. It came up and asked
for server setup info and I gave it something completely bogus because I
didn't want it accessing my POP3 account information until I was ready. It
tried several times, but each time I got an error message. Then I shut it
down.

But when I tried to bring it back up, I get the Startup Wizard, which tells
me another version of Outlook was installed prior to Outlook 2000 (True, I'm
running Windows Mail), and it asks me if I want to allow Outlook 2000 to use
the same config as the previous version. No matter whether I say Yes or No,
it launches Outlook and as soon as it launches it immediately shuts down
giving me a message that it's stopped working and that Windows will check for
a reason. But there are no more messages, it's simply shut down.

So why didn't I get ths the first time I brought up Outlook? It worked the
first time. Now it doesn't.

Anybody know why and what I can do to get it working again?

Outlook 2000 is not fully compatible with Vista, it has to be setup in
Corporate/Workgroup mode

Did your PC come with a trial version of Office installed? (Windows Mail is
not another version of Outlook, so that's not the issue.)
