When I start outlook, I get a message that says "Microsoft Outlook Has
Stopped Working" and at the bottom it says "A problem has caused the program
to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if
a solution is available."

Then of course, you click and it takes you to a place to install updates
that won't update.

My old computer crashed and I had to buy a new one which stuck me with
Vista. All of my other suites work fine, but for some reason, Outlook will
not. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted over and over again.
I've tried everything. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME? Thanks.
 
Was outlook ever working on this system?
Have you visited MS Update & installed *only* Critical updates, and did that
complete?
 
I completed all of the updates and still nothing. I uninstalled and
re-installed. Still didn't work. I went into Control Panel and did a repair
on Microsoft Office only, still nothing. I went to the Geek Squad at Best
Buy and they told me that Outlook XP is not compatible with Windows Vista. I
want to get the New Office, but didn't really want to spend the money right
now.

Any more suggestions would be greatly welcome. Thank you so much for
responding, and so quickly.
 
They are correct OLxp is not fully compatible with Vista, but usually the
problem is with remembering ISP passwords.
You could try, Control Panel>Mail Icon>create a new profile (not copy), add
the data file and accounts & test
