Outlook 2002 & Vista
JimT 12/30/2008 1:51:01 AM
I have been using Outlook 2002 on my laptop running xp for some time. I've
often copied my data file (Outlook.pst) from my laptop to a desktop also
running xp with no problem. I just bought a Dell laptop running Vista and
loaded the same Outlook 2002 software which works fine until I copy the data
file from my xp machine to the new machine. When I try to start outlook, I
get the "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in
Outlook" warning message, which seems to be stuck in a repeating loop that
won't let me click yes or no to proceed and I have to use task manager to end
the program. Can anyone help with this.

Thanks!

Jim

Locate your copied pst in your Documents Folder, start Outlook & within OL
File>Open>Data File.....browse to this pst
PS You are aware 2002 is not fully compatible with Vista, ie passwords not
retained
