Default Outlook spits: "Unable to open your default e-mail folders....

Already tried looking for the 32bit control panel- dont have it.

I have read someone complainning about the HP builds with Vista and lacking
the 32bit Control panel.

When that's grayed out, it usually mean that you haven't activated your
version of Outlook yet.
Also see my reply to your original post.

Vista Home Premium SP-1 / 64 bit
Running Outlook 2002 or even 2007

I dont have the menu item listed, and the Tools-Options is grayed out,
so I cant even create a pop3 mail account.

Thanks,
Martin

1. You never import PST files.
2. The Mail icon is where it always is unless you are running 64 bit.
You never said. If so, enable 32 bit apps.
3. You don't need that icon to open your previous PST file. You do that
from Outlook: File Open Outlook Data File...

Just picked up a new computer with Windblows Vista and Im this close to
scrubbing in favor of Linux. But for some reason I like to keep 10
years of emails in readable format and I still like Quicken_ing.

How do I get the mail setup icon back in my Control Panel so I can
import my *.pst file?

Thanks,
Martin
