  The following versions of Microsoft Outlook are fully supported on Windows 7;

  • Outlook 2003
  • Outlook 2007
  • Outlook 2010 (when it came out)

  It is recommended to always update your version of Outlook directly after installation to take care of any question of incompatibility which have been corrected.

  Previous versions
  Another version of Outlook is not supported on Windows 7. Although you may install it, any compatibility issues is not corrected. For example;

  • Outlook 2002/XP works on Windows 7, but it has the same problems remember password when using Windows Vista.
  • Outlook 2000 cannot be installed in Internet Mail Only Mode (IMO) and must be installed in company/workgroup (CW Mode) Mode to prevent a mistake wab.dll.

• Outlook 2002/Windows error message 7: can't open this item. The object is not valid.

  I recently bought a new computer (eMachine ET1831-05) with Windows 7 installed at the factory.  I installed Outlook 2002.  My old computer died & I have been unable to export my calendar, contacts, etc., so I'll have to enter everything manually in my new.

  When I save a calendar appointment is periodic (for example a birthday) I'm unable to open the appointment.  When I try, I get a message - cannot open this item.  The object is not valid. If I set an appointment that recurs not , everything works fine.

  Any suggestions?

• Vista - I have Windows Mail but receive Outlook 2002 update

  I received today an Outlook 2002 update... I don't have Outlook 2002, I have Windows Mail. Why have I not this update?

  Microsoft Office XP & Office 2002 are essentially the same application.

  If Windows Update offers you KB980371, it is assumed that Outlook is installed, even if you can't use it. So yes, KB980371 suits & must be installed.

  Otherwise, you can remove your installation of Microsoft Office XP Outlook. Please note that doing so will also remove all Outlook calendar.

• How to keep Windows Contacts to update if you use Windows Live Mail... only for iphone

  Dear people of MS,

  The guys at tech Windows Live forum helped me as much as they could, but suggested I bring my topic to give you is a question re: Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail (WLM).

  Anyway, I had a computer crash on my Vista computer (all data had been backed up fine - it is) but in the meantime I bought a notebook with Windows 7 above. I started to use WL Mail on my new computer and when I finally got my old a return of the boutique (Vista), I downloaded WL Mail so that I would use same program of electronic mail on both computers. It makes sense to me.

  However, I have since discovered that when my iphone syncs with my computer, it only picks up the contacts of my Contacts from Windows Messaging folder, and * not * those of my WL Mail one.

  Question: what do I do if I want to keep my Windows Mail contacts up to date, ensuring that all new Contacts that I have receipt/get through WLM are also in my Windows Contacts so that when I sync my iphone the iphone is up-to-date with Windows Contacts.

  Windows Mail Contacts are so easy to see and then move that WL those who are not. It's horrible!

  Can you please help - after reading a lot of posting on the website of Windows Live, I'm assuming that I need to import the WL Contacts in Contacts in Windows Messaging is that correct? Is there anything else I should know or should do?

  Thank you very much.

  Best,

  Psych :)

  Hey Psych13 and Gary,.

  Looks like you two neglected, first paragraph, of Halima. Just to summarize his position, it is not possible to synchronize contacts between Windows Live Mail and Windows Contacts. They don't like each other, there's bad blood there. :)

  Assuming that you have different contacts Contacts Windows and your Windows Live Mail, the third link posted Halima will help you to consolidate your contacts in a single application.

  And assuming that you need help to set up your iPhone to sync with Windows Live Mail, you can use the fourth link for help.

  Let me know if you have any questions!
