Hi,

New duo-core computer comes with MS Office 2007 suite. When I try to
install Outlook, getting this message:

(paraphrase): "Cannot connect to server to get configuration"

I went ahead and established Outlook without an email feature. How can
I install the email feature?

Thank you,

Please don't paraphrase the error message. The exact message is important.
Did you create a profile for Outlook to use? Did you include the correct
POP3 and SMTP servernames provided by your ISP? If you're not using an ISP,
are you connecting to an Exchange server (at work)?
 
Did you get your Outlook working? I purchased Office Home and Student 2007
and it doesn't seem to have Outlook calendar or Publisher, Does yours?

Kathleen -- thanks for replying. I would have given an exact message,
but the software has not let me get back to that screen. Somewhere
along the way it asked, "Do you want to set up Outlook without setting
up an email account" and I frustratedly said yes, and now I need
instructions how to open it back to the page where I can establish the
email assigned by my server.

Regards,
Glenn

Hi K,

Yes, my Outlook comes with both of those.

Go into the Control Panel and use the mail applet to set up a new Outlook
profile.

Office Home and Student 2007 does not include Outlook or Publisher. It
includes Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word. You need Office Professional
2007 in order to get both Outlook and Publisher in the package. Office
Standard 2007 is similar to Home and Student, but has Outlook instead on
OneNote.
