Microsoft Outlook & Vista

[Guest]

I recently bought a nem machine pre-loaded with Vista. I have managed to
transfer all my files and install all my hardware with the exception of the
scanner. I Uninstalled Macafee having used Norton AV for the past 7 years.
I started getting an error message saying that a programme was trying to
access e-mail addresses and at first (until I had Plaxo up and running) I
allowed limited access. I resolved conflict between MS Security and Norton
but the error message still popped up. I simply denied access until the
message appeared with a thick black border and I could no longer use Outlook.
I have tried repairing and then reinstalling the whole Office Professional
suite: to no avail. I have found an alternative communicadtions manager but
I prefer Outlook.

Anybody have any suggestions?

It would help if we knew what version of Outlook and Office you are
talking about. I believe you need a Vista version of Outlook on Vista.

Turn off email scanning in Norton. My preference would be to uninstall
Norton and install a different AV.

Um, a "Vista version" of Outlook doesn't exist. Office 2000 and up will
work with Vista and, if I am not mistaken, so will Office 97.

I see in another post you are using Outlook 2002. There is a Vista
compatibility problem where this version of Outlook won't save the password
for your email accounts. This combined with Norton may be the cause of the
problem.

Why, when either you or Frank will do it for me?
