Version questions, will I have a problem

[John C - Outlooking]

Hi Folks,
I just recieved a new pc with Office 2008 Basic on it that does not include
Outlook.
I own MS Office XP Small Business Edit 2002 with which includes Outlook.
Since I will no longer be using the SBE 2002, I wonder can I just install
the included 2002 Outlook from SBE ? Will it work ? what patches will be
needed if any ?
TIA,
John C.

Dont you mean Office 2007 Basic?
I think you will find OfficeXp SBE is an OEM edition, only licesed to the
first PC it was installed on.
Outlook 2002 is not fully compatible with Vista, if that is your o/s

If the new computer uses vista, you'll have problems with outlook 2002. See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/vista.htm

do you need all the features of outlook or will vistas mail and calendar
utilities meet your needs?
