outlook 2007 - 1) problems registration keys 2) no conn exhange se
 

Just having my new PC with Vista Ultimate (4 month ago) Outlook 2007
(preinstalled) was not working. I tried to reinstall Outlook 2007, but it
seemd as if it never really took away all the old, but I am not sure.
With reinstallation of Outlook 2007, I encountered problems with
registration keys:
as if I was not allowed to install this problem. I am the administrator so
that should not be any problem. Also tried to change the registration key to
full control by administrator, but then the problem was shifted to another
registration key.
There was an option to neglect, and so I did.

But then, another problem was there.
As I would like to have outlook synchronizing to the office Exchange Server
2003 at my work (fully patched as far as I know), I filled in for this
purpose. But:
* Problem: Cannot connect to the exchange server using HTTPS (had no problems
with old laptop running XP).
However, finding my mail box/username for other mailaccounts (http or Imap)
- no problem; completing the Mail setup for those - no problem. But when
exchange server connections are filled in as account - PROBLEMS
Symptoms: When I open up Outlook, I get prompted for username/pwd (so far so
good), but that's it! Either Outlook times out without ever opening up or I
get error messages that Outlook can't connect to server, or cannot start
Outlook, cannot open the outlook view, and telling me that I am not allowed
for actions like this. Though I am administrator of my own computer.

Additional Info:
(i) Accessing the exchange server via Outlook Web – no problem;
(ii) Accessing the exchange server via VPN - no problem;
(iii) Have tried to copy all settings from my XP laptop – it just bnever
runs for the connection with the exchange server
also I have the service pack 1 installed recently. Does not help me out of
these problems.

So there must be something wrong with outlook 2007 itself.
I would be very grateful for some help (anyone from Microsoft?)

Thanks
