Joined Apr 25, Messages 14, Hi Desertbabe How is Outlook configured? Or see this thread which involves copying the wab. Let us know if that helps or not. I configured Outlook to "No E-Mail". Is that the correct choice or should I choose "corporate"? Then I will install it with ur setting suggestions. I don't know how to check Outlook settings on the laptop I probably checked "no email" on the laptop installation as I am using Windows Live on it as well.
Thank you in advance for all the help Carol. The better known problems for Outlook are listed below but there may be others I'm not aware of. See Outlook on Vista and Win7 for problems associated with the other versions. These versions of Outlook are all long out of support and Microsoft will not release patches to fix any problems with these versions. Upgrading is highly recommended, or use the new Vista calendar and mail applications if you are unwilling or unable to upgrade.
With more extensive use, additional issues and workarounds may come to light. If you are using Outlook for email because you need the calendar, it's probably well worth your time to try the Mail and Calendar applications included with Vista. Windows Mail is more secure than Outlook and includes anti-spam filtering.
The Calendar application supports many of the features found in Outlook 's calendar, including calendar sharing and publishing. You can try copying the wab. While this will end the error, the address book may not function correctly. The new hardware on the new computer will not have XP drivers. That works fine. You should uninstall the trial edition of Office If you didn't click on the trial icon, it's not installed. Just delete the icon.
Check the Programs list in Control Panel to be sure. Mightily unimpressed as I thought one of the features of Windows 7 was that, unlike Windows Vista, it would run all your old software back to the Windows 95 era.
I've tried Windows LiveMail that comes with Windows 7. Not impressed - no facility to import the thousands of e-mails and contacts from my old PC. Having blown my budget on the PC, and Christmas coming up, buying a new version of Office is not an option at present. If Office is the only Microsoft option, use something else. It has serious fundamental security flaws in it that Microsoft hasn't and won't patch.
The oldest supported version of Office is XP.
