I wouldnt worry. I actually installed Outlook 2002 on my XP laptop, saved
the registry keys and compared them to Vista. When I did that I found Vista
was correct but I also found that my username and Administrators were 2
different things that could be owners and my name wasnt THE owner. I changed
that and took ownership and still nothing. I rebooted, did what was
necessary etc.
What I think may be the case - and I really am guessing here if one of you
experts who do know reads this - is that Vista stores passwords differently
and we need to find out how to fix this. The alternative which is probably
going to happen eventually is that Microsoft will release a patch to fix
this problem.
