OL2K + Vista - get set-up screens every time it opens??
My friend has Outlook 2000 installed on a Windows Vista machine.
Every time he launches OL (from the desktop shortcut), he gets the set- up screens. Then he clicks OK and it gets into OL, and email works fine. Granted, he is not computer-savvy at all - he had me over there to show him how to save an Excel file as a previous version. While I was there, he asked me how to add email names to his Contacts, which was completely empty! So what can I tell him to do to stop getting the set-up screens? Or if OL is otherwise functioning okay, would it be better just to leave it alone? Ed |

OL2K + Vista - get set-up screens every time it opens??
Outlook 2000 is functioning the best it can on Vista - the best advice is to
get a new version of Outlook, one that works correctly on Vista or use Windows Mail.
