Hello,
I am using outlook 2003. After logging into the computer, outlook comes
up automatically and prompts a message dialgo box "Outlook is about to
import information into your Email accounts. This can potentially
modify or replace your existing E-mail account settings. Would you like
to import the account settings? (Outlook will be opened after you click
Yes or No)."
I have tried following;
- scan the machine with adaware
- scan the machine with anti-virus
-checked msconfig under startup tab, nothing suspiscious found there.
- Un install and re install Office 2003
- Re create windows profile.
Nothing worked, the message is still poping up. any suggestions ?
Thanks.
Faisal.

Whether Yes or No, it opens up Outlook fine. My question is
- Why outlook is opening up automatically
- Why this dialog box pops up everytime.

Remove the Outlook shortcut from your startup folder.
