Outlook 2007, Business Contact Manager and Outlook Connector

[SCRUFFY1]

Hi, I'm new to all of this but hope someone will know the answer.
Because I have several computers active at any one time and multiple email
accounts for different business entities, I've got my email set up through
Hotmail using Windows Live Domains so that the email address uses the domain
names I own. I do this because all computers then have copies of sent
items. This is helpful because I don't need to hunt thorough the different
PST files on the different machines. I have installed Outlook Connector in
Outlook 2007 so I can access those email accounts in Outlook which I use for
tasks, calendar, contacts etc.
BUT I also want to use Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 for all the
obvious benefits it provides.

On my main desktop (new Quad-core machine with Vista Ultimate 64bit) I have
tried the following configurations.

A. Outlook 2007 + BCM (no database content) + Outlook Connector 12.1 with
several email accounts = Problems signing into some hotmail accounts
B. Outlook 2007 + BCM (with database content) + Outlook Connector 12.1 with
several email accounts = Outlook hangs and doesn't start properly 50% of the
time with same issues as A. above
C. Outlook 2007 + Outlook Connector 12.1 with several email accounts =
Everything works fine

The organisational and administrative features in BCM are great so ideally,
I want configuration B. above on all machines. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Is there
an obvious reason while all three (as in B. above) can't and will never
work?

Thanks in anticipation for any assistance offered.

Ouch.... I won't Brian. I'm new to all of this so still leaning
etiquette.

Any ideas around a solution to the problem?
