Any Way To Run Outlook 2007 In XP Compatibility Mode?
Jun 18, 2009
I am using Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 RC1 (7100) with Franklin Covey PlanPLus for Outlook v.6 add-on. This add-ob really gets slow at times. I asked tehir support, they said windows 7 is not supported (ah, that was easy to forsee).
Before I try the thing on XP - I want to try running Outlook in XP Compatibility Mode. When I try this Outlook starts, but cannot find my profile (or any profiles whatsoever).
Ok, windows 7 keeps Outlook data differently from Win XP. But how can I create a profile for XP compatibility mode? The craziest thing is run a control panel which creates profiels in XP Compatibility mode, or reinstall outlook (or start it with some command-line switch to pretend that it runs the very first time and force it to craete a profile while running in XP Compatibility mode?)
i wanted to deploy windows 7 onto the clients side but am still skeptical on how go about the exchange 2003 /2008 on the server end and the outlook on windows 7 clients side? is there any issues which i shoud be knowing before i go ahead with it?
I live by Outlook and I use 2007 because it syncs with the iPhone 4. If I can't make this work, then I won't buy a new computer now, but to be honest, I really want this to work.
(1) I've read many complaints elsewhere that Outlook 2007 doesn't run on the 64 bit Windows 7 Professional. Does anyone here have any experience with that?
(2) I'm not against buying a new Office 2010 with Outlook 2010 but...again from comments online, it doesn't seem to sync the iPhone 4 properly.
i have just installed ms outlook 2007 on my laptop. I am using windows 7. I am not able to send/receive mails in it. Whenever i try to click on send/recieve tab, everytime it gives me an error messege with code (0x80042108). Not able to use my outlook. I have configured my yahoo mail id in it.
I have an old XP laptop which I was using Outlook Express for one of my mail accounts (a work account). I also ran regular Outlook for another (personal). I want to have both of these accounts on my new PC.
My new PC is running Windows 7 wiht Office 2007. I used the Windows transfer cable and things worked failry well. My regular Outlook files all came over well, but nothing for Outlook Express.
I really would like to take this time to somehow export my OE files into my Outlook 2007. I would really like to keep the account which imported in on Outlook seperate.
Question 1: Is there a way to import my OE files into Outlook 2007?
Question 2: Is there a way to have two seperate email accounts in Outlook without combining them? Basically I want to have a work email and a personal and keep them seperate.
If I can't have two seperate emails with Outlook, can anyone suggest something which would allow me to export my old Outlook (the old personal emails) into another program so that I can at least use my work email on Outlook 2007?

i was installing Microsoft Home and Student 2007 on my son's new laptop (hp pavillion dv6) which is running windows 7 64 bit. I got the error "Error 1704 an installation for microsoft.net framework 4 client profile is currently suspended. You must undo those changes made by that installation before continuing." I don't know what that means. Should I undo or just cancel?
I just bought the academic version of office 2007 ultimate and will be buying a new laptop with windows 7 premium OS.
Are they compatible? The box says ok to XP and Vista is all. I can't return the software so what is it I need to do to make it compatible if it is not> I am basis user
I have Office 2007 with 3 licences. Jus after Xmas I build myself a new PC with absolutely top spec. I purchased legal Windows 7 Pro and installed 64 version on my new PC. Since I still had one licence remaining I also installed my Office 2007. Now I can not open Word attachments which are being sent to me with many emails. There is info box saying that there is problem sending a command to the program. I can not open any documents that I transfered from my old PC. This documents open in some gibrish machine language. I have Adobe Reader ilstalled but still no joy.

Windows 7 and 2007 office home and student compatibility. I have a 64 bit computer with windows 7. 2007 Office home student loads fine but will not activate software online.

I am running Windows 7 and have Office XP installed on my machine.
Do I have to or rather should I install MS updates for Office 2007? For instance KB. Im not sure because I do not have the suite installed. But given that these are security updates I want to be sure.
I have purchased a laptop with installed Windows 7 home basic. How can I add other utilities like Power point, Acrobat Reader etc.How can I backup for recovery?
I have a new PC which is a 64bit system and is running Windows 7. I have installed Mobile Device Manager to connect to my phone. The connection to my phone has been successful, but it won't update Microsoft outlook. It tells me to make 'outlook your default email'. I have Microsoft Outlook 2000 (because that is what I had previously!) and each time I open it, it asks me if I want to make it the default email manager, and I click 'yes' - then it asks again and click 'yes'. But it clearly fails. I've tried going into 'Default Programmes' but Outlook is not even listed. I've tried 'repairing' Outlook and that hasn't worked.
I just looked at a thread where a person complained that there is a known incompatibility between Win 7 and Outlook 2002, namely that Outlook would not save passwords in the Win7 environment. Microsoft has offered no solutions and the tenor of most of the replies was that the complainer should just quit whining and upgrade. The software was purchased and the purchaser should have every expectation to be able use it, especially within a monopoly OS. The problem is that Microsoft doesn't support their software and actively (criminally?) plans their obsolescence so that people will be forced to upgrade. This is mere to pad their profits and does not serve the society in which they operate as an exclusive franchise.If a software company stops supporting their software, then they should be forced by statute to open the source code.Any arguments against this are purely fatuous They may claim that they are protecting source code, but if this is so, then the new upgrade is just a minor adjustment and not a substantive upgrade to the code. Minor changes to inventions are not worthy of patent protection under patent law. They can't have it both ways.Their attempt to force upgrades whenever they introduce a new OS cries out for protection under anti-trust laws.Microsoft does not have the authority or the right to pad their profits by planning obsolescence into systems that they monopolize. If they don't want to support old software then let them turn this task over to competitors. This is the meaning of patent law, to allow innovations that serve the interest of society.This is an industry that is out of control and needs fixing. Their control of the OS places a huge and unnecessary cost burden on the middle class throughout the world. This is a drag on the entire economy and adversely impacts our society in numerous ways.
I am setting up my new windows 7 computer. I have Kodak Easy Share software for my camera and have used it for years. It will not work on this computer. It says that the Microsoft XML parser is missing.
I had tryed to get counter strike working properly (was stuck at start screen) by changing settings in compatibility tab. Nothing was working and I gave up.
Then I tried the next day and it magically worked !
so yeah I'm kind of a noub and was just wondering if you need to reboot to 'apply' the settings?
I have somehow switched on compatibility mode, so I no longer have the aero display. ie a minimised program does not show contents when I hover the mouse etc. How do I get it back to normal ?
Windows Live Messenger needs to run in compatibility mode in order to minimize to the system tray instead of the taskbar. This seems to work except sometimes on startup it does not run in compatibility mode. I have to exit and then restart WLM and then it's ok.
Does XP mode, available in Windows 7 and Ultimate, help with older hardware compatibility? In other words, if I have a scanner that has no 64-bit drivers available, can I use XP mode to install XP drivers and use this older hardware?
