Re: No Ribbon with Outlook 2007

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Outlook 2007 does not have the Ribbon on its main interface. However, the individual items like new message, contact, task, all do have the Ribbon interface.

| Hi all, Vista Ultimate, x64, Outlook 2007
|
| When I open Outlook 2007 I am not able to get the Ribbon. It has the
| same kind of toolbar as the 2003. I do not have the 2003 installed
| on this machine as well.
|
| Is there a setting that I need to enable to be able to get the Ribbon
| toolbar?
