outlook 2002 wont run

[marmite]

I have recently installed vista home premium, but ever since outlook 2002
wont start. It reports that it needs outlook express 4.01 or late rto run
but this isn't included in vista. i tried the free outlook express download
(withIE6) but this wont load as I got IE7 with vista! How can I make outlook
2002 work pleas? BTW, tried unistalling and re-installing and got the same
prompt. Thanks

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.

It doesn't need OE.. what are you trying to do?
I'm running Outlook 2003 on Vista, without OE, because OE won't run on
Vista.

Outlook can't access newsgroups, so you used to have to use OE for that.
You can now use Windows Mail for newsgroups.

A clarification (for others, since my guess is that you realize this),
but you can *not* use Outlook Express for newsgroups on Windows Vista.
There is no Outlook Express support in Vista. Vista has Windows Mail
(which is really just the new name for the latest, Vista, version of
Outlook Express) instead.

And of course, whether in Vista or some earlier version of Windows,
you don't *have to* use either Outlook Express or Windows Mail. Either
is optional, and there are many other choices of newsreaders. I, for
example, use Agent instead.

You can now use Windows Mail for newsgroups.

Ye, "can" is the correct word.
