Lost Passwords

I have Outlook 2002 SP3 running on Vista Home Premium. I have it set to
remember the passwords for my email, but it never keeps it. I have to
enter the passwords every time I send and receive mail and have to do it
twice because the first time only gives me errors. Any idea what is
happening?

Huh? You have software that is 6+ yrs old, well outdated and insecure, no
longer supported and its Microsoft's fault that it doesn't work on their
brand new operating system? There is a lot of software that doesn't work on
vista... and if a certain program is important to you, then you should not
upgrade.

Vista's Mail and Calendar programs are a nice replacement for Outlook. Try
them. You might like them a lot better.

Outdated? It is only a generation and a half old (isn't 2003 a minor
upgrade to Office XP?). It is MUCH better than the new, user unfriendly
2007. It works fine. Why should I be forced to replace a perfectly
adequate program just to put unnecessary money in Microsoft's pockets. I
would rather downgrade to WindowsXP, a much faster and adequate operating
system. You are right, there is a LOT of software that doesn't run under
Vista. That is why computers with XP instead of Vista are going for a
premium! People hate Vista because it will not run their perfectly
functional existing programs. Upgrading to Vista can easily cost $1,000 to
many users because of software incompatibility. Before I upgrade Office I
would rather downgrade to Vista!

Outlook 2003 was not a minor upgrade. I don't know where that idea came
from.

My upgrade to vista was around $900 - including new computer with vista
preinstalled ($700 + upgrade to office standard). Everything that came on
the computer was sufficient for my needs (CD burner software, DVD playback
etc.). Oh, I had to buy a new license for antivirus too - mine was expiring
soon anyway.

The Ultimate upgrade is MSRP at $539 and Office 2000 and XP qualify for
upgrade pricing. Frontpage is no longer for sale - Expression Web replaces
it but an older Frontpage might work in Vista - you'd need to check with the
frontpage newsgroup for that.

What program are you using to make office 2007 'usable"? In my experience,
when users don't have a chip on their shoulder about it, they adjust very
quickly to it and within days start talking about all the new stuff that's
in 2007. I smile, knowing it was always there, just hard to discover.

Office 2007 was designed with usability as the top priority - a large %% of
feature requests over the last few years were for features that were in the
current version (and often for several past versions) and office 2007 tried
to expose as many of them as possible on the ribbon level - not 3 or 4 menus
deep. Its harder for expert office users to adjust but the average user
picks it up fast as do new users.

Is there a reason you aren't using the Quick Access Toolbar?
