Problem: Windows 7 Search results emails don't open under outlook

[Panorama]

I am using windows 7 Professional (64 bit) as it was pre-installed on my
laptop. I also installed a fully updated version of Office 2003 to use
Outlook 2003, with all service packs and updates installed.

When I use Windows Search, I can no longer open, copy/paste or delete the
resulting emails listed, even if the email shows fine in the preview pane.
When I double-click on a listed search result (i.e. an email) nothing
happens, although it seems the search program tries to open outlook.

Is this a known issue ? Is there a fix ?

I searched the internet and it seems various people have reported similar
issues under Vista.

Is Outlook running when you try to open the mail item?

Hi,
I read on several internet sites, that there are problems with outloo
2003 and windows 7. As far as I know the windows7 search is a bi
different from the vista search/WDS so maybe you could try a search too
for outlook.
I recommend 'Lookeen' (http://www.lookeen.net) for that.

I personally use Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 32bit Prof and it work
fine.

hope this helps :
