Unusable MAPI?
Jul 27, 2009
I just began using Vista Home Premium (SP1 installed) 64bit and I am trying out the trial version of Microsoft Office that came on my new HP. I wanted to create a mail merge letter in Word 2007 and then email it out to a group of folks using Windows Mail version 6.0. Creating the email was easy. I then tried to select "email" from the drop down Word mail merge menu to finish it, but the email choice was grayed out. In Googling on Vista,email and Word, I get the feeling this might have something to do with a missing or otherwise unusable MAPI? I tried installing Microsoft Mail Live, but no difference in results. I have no other problems communicating across my home network or via broadband to the internet.

I'm trying to send a quote from Simply accounting but cannot do so since I've
switched from Outlook express to Windows mail.
I get a MAPI compatible error.

I was using Outlook (not Outlook Express) running under Windows XP on my old computer. I carefully backed up all my folders in which I keep my e-mail messages. I want to import the folders into Windows Mail running under Windows Vista on my new computer. When I try, the menu invites me to select the format I want to import e-mail from and I select Microsoft Outlook. I then get an error message saying "Messages cannot be imported from the MAPI client". Of course , this means nothing to me. Can anyone help ? Does it mean that I must go out and buy a new version of Outlook ?

I have installed my Motherboard drivers and my GPU drivers to little effect. Is it worth downloading the updates. If I do that it will probably take all afternoon. Plus I'll have to log off this computer.

The Event Viewer of my friend's computer shows a lot of errors saying that his hard drive is corrupt and unusable. On every re-boot the Disk Checker starts up and does its thing only to report there are no problems.
Could there be some other hardware problem that would cause Vista to report these type of errors? My friend did take his machine into the shop to be checked out be a Certified Technician and they told him that everything was OK. At least they did not charge him for the service.
I am a bit concerned that he had a lot of programs operating in the background which caused a lot of memory swapping as he has only 1GB of memory. What is the minimum amount of recommended memory for Vista now? I think it used to be 1.5GB, has that changed?

Purchased a new machine yesterday. Started to load some of my software, one of which is Links 2003. I play this a lot. It will not run in Vista Home Prem. Video in a mess. Unusable. I have 1.05 patch installed but need something to support Vista.

I am having a strange problem with my Windows Vista Home Premium installation. The login screen loads and I can write the user and password boxes, but when I insert the password for my user and I hit the enter button or click the arrow button it does nothing. Clicking on shutdown options button does nothing. Pressing ctrl+alt+del does nothing. And after about 30 seconds it reboots and all the same happen endlessly. I tried all the recovery options ( boot in safe mode, last working configuration, disable restart at error, etc... ) and all have the same behavior.
I booted with the Windows Vista Recovery Tools from the DVD and I used chkdsk. It says that found errors and corrected them but when I run again the chkdsk the same errors are reported and corrected. Used sfc /scannow with the offline options and it says that found some corrupted files and is unable to correct them, but when I check the logs no relevant errors are found. Tested the memory and the hard drive using ubuntu live cd and the results were that both are ok. With ubuntu live cd I am able to boot and access all the windows files.
This is not the error "installing updates 3 of 3" or the black screen of death after welcome screen. This happened when I was using the pc and suddenly it freezed and I pressed the power button to do a hard shutdown. After that these symptoms started. Until there everything was fine. I didn't download any virus, as I am a computer programmer and I know what I am doing I just can't understand this error. What do you guys think it is? Is it a virus or some of the system files are corrupted or a hardware problem? I would not like the reinstall vista option because I have a lot of data and a lot of programs installed. What other options do I have? By the way the Vista I have is Service Pack 2.

When I click "File - Import - Messages - Microsoft Outlook" I get the following error message: "Messages can not be imported from the MAPI client". I would also like to import my contacts.pst but am not sure what format to use. My old hard drive died. Outlook.pst; Contacts.pst; and Archive2008.pst were recovered and put on a CD. I transferred Outlook.pst and Contacts.pst to my new Vista C: drive.
I could not transfer Archive2008. It said "Can not read from source file or disk", then it goes away. I guess the earlier archives couldn't be retrieved. I am getting very frustrated. MS says to contact the computer mfg, ACER says it can't help me, call MS. MS will charge me for help. I just bought this stupid computer with Vista and nobody will help me after they have their money.
