Outlook XP 2002 running on Windows Vista!

If it doesn't work with Outllok XP2002, will it work with Outlook 2003 if
purchased alone?

open and I have entered this it will work but as soon as I close it and
restart it I have to put the code in again. Anybody have a solution?

Office/Outlook 2003 and 2007 are fully supported on Windows Vista.

Brian,

Not a very good comparison...auto manufacturers are required by law to
maintain a certain level of parts availability for the cars they produce.
It's a lot easier to get an alternator for a 1967 Mustang than it is to get
Microsoft to make their own products compatible with a version that's only 5
years old.

No one is asking for a free upgrade, just that the older versions are
compatible. What's being done is that Microsoft is just finding easier ways
of forcing you to buy software you really don't need.

Let me ask you: do you expect automobile manufacturers to give you free
upgrades to older automobiles you've purchased when they make changes to
their later lines?

No, Microsoft is not forcing you to buy software you really don't need.

Stick with your older operating system and the Office version you have purchased works just fine. If you *choose* to upgrade your OS, then you will need to consider whether to continue using an out of support version of software designed for your old system and put up with errors, or upgrade to a software package specifically designed to work with your new OS.

See, your decision, no Microsoft gun pointing at your head. Check out what Apple did.

Gentlemen we must not forget that if it’s a small extremely irritating
constant little popup window that just wont go away.
And we all know that this little problem can be remedied by Microsoft
obtaining more money for you’re troubles…
Well! I do believe that we are given a very logical and simple solution…

Totally irrelevant and not a solution at all, since OpenOffice doesn't
contain an Outlook replacement, only ones for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.

Bill,
I experienced the same issues with Office 2007 / Vista OS on Outlook. I did
a couple things that resolved the issue. I had more than one email account
listed in Outlook. I deleted one of them and recreated the same account and
deleted the former. Leaving only the one account.
Go to Tools in Outlook and click on Account Settings. You will see your
email accounts listed.
Hope this helps.

I own a 10 year old honda and Honda has parts so that I can fix it when
broken. I'm sure that GM has parts to fix much older cars and the after
market is there to help

So? You have to pay for those parts. They aren't free. I have no doubt
that if you paid Microsoft enough, they'd fix the problem.
