Re: vista and outlook 2002

No idea what that has to do with the topic.

Just think how bad you would feel if you had just purchased QuickBooks 2006. It won't run on Vista! Intuit has no plans to attempt to make it work. It's all about Vista rightfully preventing data mucking in the Program Files Folder as QuickBooks has done for years. Their stance may increase revenue, and then again some of my acquaintences are switching to Microsoft's Office Accounting Express 2007. It's funny the loyalties that have been built up over the years can be extinguished in a minute.

We can't read minds - you need to tell us what the problem is, not reply to someone else's message and then not include their message.


Outlook 2002/Vista. You cannot get Outlook 2002, no matter what you do, to remember passwords. You can enter them and so long as Outlook 2002 stays running it is OK. Exit the program and come back in and it wants passwords all over again. You can tick REMEMBER and you can even go to Email Accounts and enter there and tick to remember but the result is the same - it doesnt.

Any time you upgrade an OS, you risk losing saved passwords because the new OS replaces much of the registry and that's where the passwords are stored. Any time you upgrade the OS you take a chance that older software will not work with it. It's not just outlook - many other applications will have problems with the new OS too.


I understand that but I took it from what you said that Outlook 2002 wont be looked at and as I pointed out, they are actually keeping critical updates for W2K going till 2010 so why not fix a major blunder that has happened to a younger program and allow it to keep passwords? I have 27 email accounts, some for various non work reasons but some for work and some for personal. It is annoying, to say the least, that I have to fill in passwords all the time.
