Board index » Windows Vista » MSOfficeXp - Outlook conflict with VISTA

Windows Vista2
Hi, I purchased a new system with Vista Home Premium and install MS OfficeXp.

All of the MS Office programs installed and opened just fine except for MS

Outlook,

when I open MSOutlook, I receive an error message advising me that Windows

VISTA encountered a problem and must close.

The the Error message is "THE ORDINAL 6718 COULLD NOT BE LOCATED IN DLL

MSV.DLL".

MSOfficeXp including Outlook worked find with my "old" WindowsXp Pro system

but there appears to be a conflict with Outlook 2002 and VISTA.

I have updated VISTA and MSOfficeXp on the Microsoft Website and I would

appreciate any help you can offer to correct / fixing this problem and allow

me to use Outlook again.

Thanks,

Bob

hunted up all possible updates?

Hi Viper, I bought a Lenovo system that was manufactured in Dec '07 and went

to the Microsoft and Lenovo Websites and updated EVERYTHING so yes (I think

I've got the latest and greatest versions and / or Drivers). Since you are

experiencing some weird things as well, may be some one from Microsoft will

sptumble on to this and the technical gurus will figure out WHAT'S GOIN ON.

Good luck,

Bob

VIIISSSTAAAAH!

Burt srsly, no caps on Vista plz.

No, no more weirdness here! :) I bought Office 2007 about two months

ago and it runs well. The PW issue with Office XP was something that MS

did on purpose, to avoid having to update the Office XP security model

to mesh with Vista.

Hi Bob.



I was having similar problems with outlook in office XP on Vista

business 32 bit with a mailbox on an exchange server, but I managed to

work through all of the problems. Are you trying to connect to a pop

mail account?



Here are some things for you to try. First, turn off UAC to install

office XP. You should make sure that office 2007 is not installed

before installing office XP (sometimes new machines come with trial

versions of office 2007). Uninstall your current installation of office

XP, then reboot and reinstall it outside of the program files directory.

Post back and let us know how these suggestions work for you.

Hi Maura, thanks for your POST which surely which I found MUCH MORE helpful

than "VIIISSSTAAAAH! Burt srsly, no caps on Vista plz", some people seem to

have a LOT of time on there hands.

My situation is similar to yours, a "trial" version of Office'07 was

included and overwrote OfficeXp so I had to uninstall it and then reinstall

OfficeXp.

The only reason that I use Outlook is for CONTACTS, since I have ALL my

names, addresses, telephone numbers on Outlook (something that I started

YEARS ago) and haven't found an address book that I could IMPORT the Outlook

settings to (in which case I would DELETE Outlook).

Anyway, I uninstalled, Installed and Repaired OfficeXp several times and

when I open Outlook, the program OPENS but when I click on Calendar or

Contacts, I get the error message that Outlook is closing.

Anyway, I do appreciate your help , hopefully I get Outlook working (I am

thinking of uninstalling Outlook OfficeXp and installing Outlook from my

"old" Office97 program) or may be finding an Address Book program that

recognizes / accepts Outlook files.

Bob

Hi Bob, thanks for giving feedback. If none of my suggestions worked

for you, there are some other options for you to try:



- Eudora (it's free and I believe this can import outlook contact info)

- Thunderbird with an extension such as Contacts sidebar

- Palm Desktop



Good luck, hoe you find something that suits your needs.
