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?


They charge for the radio not a whole new car!!!


Unless, of course, the car's electrical system can't support the radio.

Oh, and sometimes they have to charge for grinding out space to fit the
radio, or, occasionally, you get it installed somewhere in the car where it
isn't really supposed to be, making it an eyesore.

And, as for the original person, good luck finding software that has no
bugs.

Bill, I found a work around for the "BS - Outlook XP not in mainstream
support answer" . What has worked for me is to minimize Outlook (do not
close) and hibernate the the system (working on a Lenovo notebook). When I
bring the system back up the password is still active. Hope this helps.

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?

Yes it runs but you will need to put in your network password each time you start outlook.

Hey, I'm having the logon issue too, but this is with Exchange 5.5 server.
I've tried disabling Vista's TCP/IP6 and I've got SP3.
Windows Mail doesn't work with MAPI so that sucks...
Outlook worked when I first installed it (for one day), now all I get is the
"logon information was incorrect" error message. Everything is correct, it
worked once and now nothing.

Ideas??? Thanks!!

Can't you admit that it seems a little strange that MS can design a 'feature'
that forces you to have to buy updates to their other flagship product?

If you want to compare warrnaties between car companies and software
companies... bring it on. One is a whole lot more accoutable than the other.
And don't bother telling me that Office XP is out of warranty... I'll remind
you that MS talks about backward compatibility to set the expectation of
their customers.

What really bothers me is that Vista politely reminded me that the product
was no longer supported and would bring me directly to a website where I
could buy Office 2007. Maybe they should have put the developer of that
error message on the hotifx instead of trying to part me with my money.

There will be no hotfix for any developer to work on. When a product is out of support, it is not tested with newer software. Get over it.

All the talk about Outlook 2002 and earlier not being supported is fine and
dandy, but I have the same problem as the original poster with Outlook 2007
on Vista Home Premium. Vista is new on a laptop and Office 2007 is a clean
install (not upgraded). I also tried Vista Mail and the same thing happens.
Any suggestions for this?

BTW, since I'm here (not wanting to hijack a thread), I used to have Outlook
2007 on XP SP2 and my e-mail accounts set up as IMAP accounts. This doesn't
work with my current setup as above. Although the mail setup in outlook
tests OK, when it tries to log on to the IMAP server, it ultimately fails.
This happens with two different servers. I'd prefer to use IMAP over POP3 if
possible. Any suggestions for this?

When is the last time you heard of a car company not supporting a car that's
only 5 years old. This is typical Microsoft as far as I'm concerned. "We're
not supporting you, buy the new one that's drastically overpriced or be
screwed". Thanks again Mr. Gates, your legacy lives on.
