HTTP greyed out

[John]

I am using OL2003 and when I try to add a new email
account the HTTP option is greyed out. Why?

 

[John]

I looked into my problem further and I remember I brought
up OL on my XP profile and exited out of it without
really setting anything up. Now I cant rerun the wizard
or get email set up. I can go to other XP profiles and
the wizard runs, I get the HTTP option and it works
great. Any way I can reset the one profile to initialize
OL again? I don't want to remove and reload Office 03.
Thanks!

Try creating a new Outlook profile using the Mail applet in Control Panel. If that doesn't work, try Help | Detect and Repair.

Delete the current mail profile by going to Control Panel-> Mail-> button
Show Profiles. Select the profile and the Remove and then Apply. When you
now press Add... you'll be prompted for a profile name (type Outlook if you
want the default name) and the Wizard will start again.

I tried deleting/adding a profile and it didn't work. I
uninstalled/reinstalled office 2003 and still when I get
prompted for an email type the HTTP option is greyed out.
There must be something in my local settings for this one
XP account that is messing it up. HELP!

Are you using the MSN Connector for outlook?

is there a DisableHTTP key at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options? I think 0
is allow http - mine is set to 0 and I can create an http account...
