Outlook 2002 and Vista password problem

I have Outlook 2002 SP3 with the same password problem on Vista Home
Premium 64bit. It is a bit of a pain having to enter your password
every time you start it up. I think Microsoft can fix it if they want
to but the object is to get you to go to Office 2007 or at the very
least look at the Outlook 2007 upgrade.

Maybe someone with a Hexeditor can fix Outlook 2002? :)

MIcrosoft will not "fix" any non-security related issue for Office XP as it is out of mainstream support and was not tested with Windows Vista.

It looks like a cheap propaganda on Microsoft website to get you buying the
new office. It is far from being any solution, and buying new software from a
company that doesn’t support its previous versions is just a sad joke.

Yeah, and I suppose that Quark, Adobe, etc. supported Mac OS 10.x out of the box as well as other software producers for the Apple OS. What's that you say?

Oh, I thought so.

So you wouldn't but the current version of OS X from Apple, either, since
they no longer support the Lisa's operating system, correct?
