IE7 and Outlook Express
I have installed Beta2 of Internet Explorer on my machine and have come
across an issue with Outlook Express. I use Outlook Express as a fat client for my Hotmail account. After installing IE7 everytime I access my mail in Outlook Express or switch between folders (in Outlook Express) I am prompted for credentials. When I am prompted, I simply click OK becuase my username and password is correct on the auth window. I HAVE selected to remember my password in OE. I believe that this is an IE7 related issue becuase I did not have this problem before I installed the product. Thanks in advance. SKM |

Same thing here.
De-installing IE7 and going to Firefox is NOT an option. Anyone with a solution gets my hat off. "SKM" wrote in message ...

I am confident a solution to this issue exists from Microsoft.
Since IE 7 will be released for Windows XP (i.e. for use with Outlook Express 6) Microsoft WILL support this type of situation future. It is my hope that they have encountered this issue to date an have found some sort of solution at this stage in the devlopment cycle. (To alias' comment: Yes, I realize that that this is the OE 6 newsgroup and that IE 7 is in beta. However, newsgroups exist to share information with the community. Another user (Sherwood Anderson) checked this newsgroup in troubleshooting the same issue and as a result believe that my post is applicable an in line with the stated purpose of the newsgroup. If you don't like that...well...don't use the newsgroup!) "Alias" wrote: SKM wrote: I have installed Beta2 of Internet Explorer on my machine and have come across an issue with Outlook Express.

1. The problem is with OE6, so this is the right group.
2. Bet you haven't paid a cent for any of them. Usually, this is what irks "folks" like you most about MS - paying for the products. SA |

in a NDA). Then again, might be related to availability of Hotmail in Vista RTM.

I know someone that had a "non valid" copy of XP Pro and installed IE7, Hotmail would then not work. It kept asking for the password. They searched and found the update file "WindowsXP-KB904942-v2-x86-ENU.exe" and ran it. Now Hotmail works fine. Sorry I don't know the link to it. But it is out there. I was told it is part of the updates you get if you [could] run windows update, but not being valid they could not get it the normal way. They had tried everything, but this worked. If MS thinks you have a "bootleg" copy of XP (for some reason) you can get the file some place other than MS, and run just this one file. -- davidb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davidb's Profile: http://www.officehelp.in/member.php?userid=4941 View this thread: http://www.officehelp.in/showthread.php?t=939645 Posted from - http://www.officehelp.in |
