I purchased a new laptop with Vista Home Premium OS. I tried to install
Office 2000 on it and Outlook has a problem. Everytime I try to start the
program it wants to reinstall. It will not register as my default mail. I
have not tried to do anything else with contacts or email. Any help would be
appreciated.
 
I struggled with this for a few minutes before it occured to me that the application doesn't have permission to modify the default mail application, hence the reason it prompts all the time. Simply run outlook.exe directly using the run "as administrator" option on the context menu. After it goes through doing more oddball install stuff and complaining about having to recreate the custom links in the original outlook 2000 .pst, the e-mail opens. Close it down and run it normally and all is well.
