Dificulty of Migration from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Ultima

[Ailton Marcos Immezi]

I am an user of ACT 6.0 and Outlook 2002 running in s aHP Notebook Pavillion
ZE2040BR under Windows XP Pro sincronized with a IPaq HP hw 6515 smartphone.
The Outlook 2002 is linked with the ACT 6.0 Databank ans with the iPaq hw
6515.
Now I am involved in the dificulty to migrate to a new HP Notebook Pavilion
dv2250BR with Windows Vista Ultimate. As per HP support to keep the same
above feature we need to install the Outlook 2002 to keep the same sincronism
with the smartphone iPaq hw 6515.
I have installed in the new computer ACT 6.0 program and Outlook 2002 to
keep the same operational function we had in the previous notebook.
Unfortunately I am not well succeded till now. Several dificulties to run
both programs in the new Notebook with Vista Ultimate. In the new computer we
can not run the ACT properly and we can not link with the Outlook 2002 also.
We would like to know what we can do to keep the same usual operation we had
in the previous Notebook with Windows XP Pro in the new Notebook with a Vista
Ultimate.

The problem you stated was a bit vague...
for the best help you need to state the *exact* error message you got
or properly define exactly what you mean when you say "we can not run the
ACT properly"

Without add'l info all I could suggest is for you to note your Outlook 2002
settings in the "XP" machine...
then replicate them in the "Vista" machine
(and do the same for your ACT 6.0 of course)

Your issues are likely to be compatibility related. Microsoft Outlook 2002
is not certified to run on Windows Vista and it has been documented well in
this newsgroups that you have do some things to get it working under Vista,
but its not guaranteed work properly. You Ipaq is possibly in a similar
situation since Vista utilizes the new Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1
software to synchronize with Windows Mobile Devices and Microsoft Outlook,
so you should make sure you are running at least Pocket PC 2003 on that
device.

For ACT 6.0, have you checked the developers website for updates or
information about compatibility under Windows Vista? Have you tried
reinstalling the software to see if it corrects the issues you are now
experiencing?

By MICHAEL:
Outlook 2002 works well with Vista, except remembering email
passwords. Don't look for that to be fixed, either.

You'll just have to keep Outlook opened for as long as you can
if you don't want to enter the password every time.

Does Outlook work on Vista?

Naturally, Outlook 2007, the newest version of Outlook, works well on Vista.
(It also works great on Windows XP.) Outlook 2003 works well on Vista as
well. Both of
these versions are officially supported on Vista, so if any issues arise
Microsoft will offer
public hotfixes or include the fix in future Service Packs.

Outlook 2002: It runs, but email account passwords are not saved. After you
enter the password
during the first email check, Outlook will remember it until you close down
Outlook. This is
because Outlook used the protected storage interfaces to store passwords and
these are no
longer supported in Vista. Unless Microsoft decides to create a publicly
available hotfix to
address this, you won't be able to save passwords. Outlook 2002 is outside
of mainstream
support so this is unlikely to happen as it's not a critical security hole.

You can use a Windows script program such as AutoIt to enter the password
for you.

Note that when you enter the password, the Send and Receive that brought up
the password dialog
may fail but future send and receives will work. Leave Outlook open 24/7 to
avoid entering it
frequently.
