Outlook 2003 and windows messenger
Having succumbed to the pressure to update my Windows messenger (I rarely
use it any more) and linking it to my Outlook 2003 I am now unable to send and recieve or change email accounts in Outlook. I have uninstalled Office and Messenger and reinstalled Office. No good!!!!!! I no longer intend using Messenger so replying to my my hotmail account will be a complete waste of time please use for any notifications. This is a complete pain in the A@#se for me and I have wasteed two entire afternoons trying to get the bloody thing fixed. |

Outlook 2003 and windows messenger
I followed the instructions that came with the upgrade.
I assumed that ticking the box that offers a connection with outlook, automatically installs any linking software that is required. Even so, if this fails Outlook should (I once again assume) default to its normal state. I have two new directories in my outlook navigation pane both relating to my hotmail account . These cannot be deleted. I cannot access my email accounts to make changes and I can no longer send or recieve email. the error message I recieve when trying to access my email accounts from the Tools option is "The operation failed due to a registry or installation problem. Restart outlook and try again. If the problem persists, please reinstall". I have, several times, tried to uninstall outlook, and office in it's entirety, and reinstall all from the CD. This simply returns me to the same state of failure. The "error message" I recieve when trying to send and receive is absolutely nothing but silence and inaction. I wish I hadn't attempted to upgrade messenger "Vince Averello" wrote: What error or errors do you receive while trying to send/receive? Have you installed the Outlook connector for Hotmail?
