Outlook XP 2002 running on Windows Vista!

I have a problem that everytime I start Outlook to check my email it pops up
the enter network password box even though this was saved when setting up my
email account. Worked fine when I was running Windows XP but now with Vista
it pops this window up every time I start Outlook. As long as outlook is
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?

That is a known compatibility issue between Outlook 2002/XP and Windows
Vista that won't be fixed as Outlook 2002/XP is out of mainstream support.

Thanks,

I think I'm done buying Microsoft products. I'm tired of spending my hard
earned money on products that I can't update. They are also bugged to death.

FWIW; There are many other older non-Microsoft software products that won't
run on Windows Vista and won't be updated. Ever owned a Mac? It is even
worse then and often requires to change your hardware completely as older
hardware models won't support the upgrade.

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?

why does everybody always compare hardware with software.

intel dont give out free chips to all old chip users when they update their
microcode - hardware.
but a car manufacturer will update the pcm code in your cars computer
systems even if the car is no longer "current model" - software.

anyway back to the original issue: i too have run into this password problem
(office 2003 - which should be covered until 2008?), but it only occured when
i was remote. Whilst on net to my exchange server, it has never prompted me
for a password.

Dear Robert
I have just purchased a new PDA running Windows, which requires me to use
Outlook 2002 for sync. I have just updated my laptop and OS software to Vista
Business however I have kept Office 2002 for the soul purpose of syncing with
my PDA. If MS are not going to fix this problem with Outlook 2002 is there an
update for my NEW PDA so that I can sync with the NEW Outlook?

Regards
JenRue

No it doesn't. It may have come with Outlook 2002, but it doesn;t require
Outlook 2002. You can use Outlook 2003, which you should be able to find on
eBay (or elsewhere) at a decent price, or Outlook 2007.
