OL 2007 - Vista

[JRO Mtn Group]

I have just installed OL 2007 on my new Vista laptop. I have configured OL to
be the default mail client - both in Outlook and in Internet Options..tools
etc. I have associated the correct files, I have rebooted - but I still get
the message that OL is not configured as the default mail client...help!
Thanks

what permissions does your user acct have? if you open outlook using the run
as admin option does it work correctly?

I am the only user - so assume it's the administrator ....how do I open
outlook with the admin option?
Also - in the account settings window - the "Set as default" option is
greyed...does that mean it's not an option? It's the only e-mail account set
up. Everything works except the annoying message keeps popping up.
thanks

have you tried using detect and repair?

verify your user acct is an administrator account in control panel, users.
If not administrator, right click on outlook shortcut and choose run as...
from the menu.

I am the administrator - I verified it.
What is detect and repair.
I imported my PST from previous version of OL. Everything else works fine -
I'm getting mail but the message keeps popping up.
Message says: "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail
client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Polease run MS Office Outlook
and set it as the default mail client."
Thanks Diane.
