Come to think of it, I don't think that I've used Outlook on this machine. Word, Excel, and Access have given me no problems, and the very little I've used Power Point and Front Page worked OK. Sorry I couldn't be more help. BOB |

I will re-install outlook and try again might have to be after xmas. To be honest I'm still dithering about whether to go to XPpro on this laptop. Vista has some nice utilities the reliability feature for one, but theyve taken away a lot of the configurability and I'm missing the good bits of xp. I suppose upgrading to the latest office is one answer but I cant really justify the expense. ) |

I recommend getting at least on Vista book to find out where to find them. Your local library probably has several. Some of the tweaks we all did in XP are really not needed any more. Office 2003: Office 2003 works fine on Vista as long as you do NOT install SP3. SP3 kills almost all of the Office products in one way or another. Google for problems "office 2003" (sp3 OR "service pack 3") and you will see what I mean. If you DO install SP3, it's recommended that you uninstall Office 2003, reinstall it, and then install SP2 and wait for Microsoft to fix all the problems they caused with SP3. Office 2007 is a completely different animal. If you have lots of time on your hands, you can learn to use it. It seems to be designed for newbie users at the expense of those who have used Office for many, many years. Finally, be careful before you change your operating system on a laptop. You may get into a real mess and wish you had a time machine so you could reconsider your decision. Best of luck. Duane |
