Can't setup Outlook (iPhone/Win7 Issues)

L

LauraKoz

I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 and began reinstalling my
programs. I have an Office 2000 CD and upgraded via the Microsoft
patch/download. Everything installed fine, but when opening Outlook for
the first time, regardless of the setup option I choose (e-mail, no
e-mail, etc), it throws a "Outlook has stopped working" error and
Windows fails to find a solution, only allowing you to close the
application. Through my research, this seems to be a common problem
(possibly due to add ons?) but I can't seem to find a solution for my
particular issue:

I do not use Outlook for mail, but I do use it to back up the contacts
on my iPhone. I wanted to set up Outlook, import the contacts from my
phone (which I'm not even sure how to go about, but I *think* a 2-way
sync will move the contacts from the phone to Outlook without deleting
them), and be done with it.

I have not updated with any of the Windows updates yet, so I don't
think that is the problem --it has to be something particular to the
2000 software or Windows 7 itself. I'm not a complete idiot but I'm
certainly no techie, I'd prefer not to mess with the registry or
download random software, but I'm desperate for a solution so that I can
have a backup.

Anyone have any ideas?

Running a 32-bit Home Pro version of Windows 7. Let me know if you need
any additional information.

Thank you,
Laura
