Bob Pelletier

Thanks All. I just got a new PC and installed this release of Outlook. I
have VISTA with all service packs on desktop. What am I missing to not
see the pictures and only see and red X in a box?
Thanks in advance.

You mean OL98 actually runs on Vista?
Only OL2003 and OL2007 are compatible with Vista

I just got this
Microsoft® Outlook™ 98 is the new messaging and collaboration client
that helps you do your best work by combining the leading support for
Internet standards-based and Microsoft Exchange Server-based e-mail with
integrated calendar, contact, and task management features.
In Outlook, information is organized in folders. When you first start
Outlook, the Inbox folder opens. Use the Inbox to read and send e-mail
messages, meeting requests, and task requests.

To create a message, click the File menu, point to New, and then click
Mail Message. Type recipient names in the To and Cc boxes. Type the
subject of the message in the Subject box, and then type the message in
the text box. When you are ready to send the message, click Send.

To quickly go to another part of Outlook, click a shortcut icon on the
Outlook Bar to the left of the Inbox. For example, click Calendar to
open your Calendar folder. The Folder Banner (horizontal bar above the
information viewer) shows the name of the open folder. To see a complete
list of your folders, click the folder name in the Folder Banner.

Do yourself a favour uninstal outlook 98, then either buy a version that is
fully compatible with Vista - I'm not even sure Outlook 98 qualifies as an
upgrade path - or revert to Windows Mail
Outlook 98 has not been supported by MS for some considerable years, and was
origonally available free

What are you going to use Outlook for? Email? Have you tried Windows mail
(or the upgrade to live mail client). Calendar? Vista includes a calendar
which is very much like Outlook 2007's. It can do so much more than Outlook
98 ever can.

Thanks so much. I'll try Windows Mail.

The clients that come with vista are free and not bad at all. The new live
mail client is also free and includes spell checking, even if office is not
installed.

Having just been laid off after 29 years I am pulling out all the old
software I have to save $ on the upgrade of the PC.

Outlook 98 in Corporate/Workgroup mode may work well enough to use.
