Thanks All. I just got a new PC and installed this release of Outlook. I
have VISTA with all service packs on desktop. What am I missing to not
see the pictures and only see and red X in a box?
Thanks in advance.

You mean OL98 actually runs on Vista?
Only OL2003 and OL2007 are compatible with Vista

If you have outlook 98 installed on vista, little red boxes will most likely
be the least of your problems.

See http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/vista.htm for more information.

Do yourself a favour uninstal outlook 98, then either buy a version that is
fully compatible with Vista - I'm not even sure Outlook 98 qualifies as an
upgrade path - or revert to Windows Mail
Outlook 98 has not been supported by MS for some considerable years, and was
origonally available free

Thanks Diane. Having just been laid off after 29 years I am pulling out
all the old software I have to save $ on the upgrade of the PC.

What are you going to use Outlook for? Email? Have you tried Windows mail
(or the upgrade to live mail client). Calendar? Vista includes a calendar
which is very much like Outlook 2007's. It can do so much more than Outlook
98 ever can.

The clients that come with vista are free and not bad at all. The new live
mail client is also free and includes spell checking, even if office is not
installed.
