Outlook 2003 will not open in Vista

[Ian F.]

I have just installed Outlook 2003 on my new Vista computer and when I
open the program I get the message "This information service has not been
configured, select an existing file to configure or type the name of a new
file".

When I click 'OK' in the box, the box and the program closes. Would anyone
have any advice on what to do?

Many thanks,

Ian

Did you configure a mail profile already?

Robert, thanks very much for the response. I'm not intending to use
Outlook for mail at present - I will use Windows Mail (OE). I want to use
it solely for contacts and calendar functions.

You'd still need to create a mail profile then. You can create a mail
profile without a mail account configured as well.

Keep in mind that Windows Mail won't be able to use your Outlook contacts.
You'll need to keep another set of them in Windows Contacts for that
purpose.
