Can I install Outlook 2000 Pro as a stand alone
In advance, thanks for any help.
I recently purchased a new computer that has Windows 7 and the Office 2007 student trial package. For many years I have owned a license to Office 2000 Professional and wish to install Outlook as a stand alone because Windows Live E-mail is not our prefered e-mail method. I plan on purchasing Office 2007 at the end of the trial, but if Office 2000 Outlook can be installed, I can save $109.00. |

Can I install Outlook 2000 Pro as a stand alone
Outlook 2k is not fully compatible with Vista or Win7 allthough there are
some workarounds. You wont have full integration with other Office components if you have a missmatched version of Outlook. Generally its cheaper to buy an upgrade version of Office from eg Amazon.com than to convert a Trial, and you get the dvd without having to pay extra "MWalker" wrote in message ...

Can I install Outlook 2000 Pro as a stand alone
Outlook 2000 has compatibility issues with Windows Vista and Windows 7 which
will not be addressed since the product is considered end-of-life. Either way, I would not recommend using it anymore since it offers no security features which you'll need today (web-picture blocking for instance to prevent tracking your address). Windows Live Mail also can be used with accounts other than Live Hotmail accounts. There are of course plenty of other mail clients that can be used as well if you do not wish to buy Outlook. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "MWalker" wrote in message ...
