You need to get a newer version of Outlook. Here's a quote from the info link
provided below:

Officially only Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 are supported to run on Windows
Vista. If you are running an older version you should consider an upgrade to
Outlook 2007 or use Windows Mail instead. Any version before Outlook 2003 has
known Vista compatibility issues which are very likely not to be solved nor will
it put back those versions of Outlook into a supported state.

You can use Windows Live Mail Desktop as it is said to be better than
Windows Mail

I have to concur with David - your best bet is to switch from Outlook 2000 to
Windows Mail in Vista. Reluctantly, I concluded this after a full day of
misery that began with simply trying to move all my e-mail from an old XP box
to new Vista machine. Tried to install and run Outlook2k on Vista but it was
broken , could receive but not send. Tried to fix the dreaded WAB DLL not
found by copying and registering WAB DLL - it broke the Vista Contacts
function. Resorted to Windows Mail, but found WM can't read old e-mail from
Outlook2K (.pst file). Solution was to first import the old Outlook mail
(.pst) mail folders into Outlook Express 6, then import the OE6 folder into
WM - see

Agh! I'm gonna toss the XP box and get Linux - Any suggestions for managing
mail and contacts in Linux?
