Problem installing Outlook 2003 on Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Hi guys,

I just had a 32-bit Windows XP/Office 2003 machine die on me (fried
motherboard), so I bought a new box, but this time 64-bit onto which I
installed Vista Ultimate SP1 (but kept Office 2003).

I wanted to transfer over all my Outlook 2003 stuff from the old hard disk,
to the new one, including my former inbox directory structure, all my old
emails and other stuff.

Following Judy Gleeson's advice, I copied over the files, and Outlook seems
to have recognised them as expected. I can now see all my old inbox folders
and all the old emails. The problem is that I'm unable to connect to my
incoming or outgoing servers. If I go in through Control Panel | View 32-bit
Control Panel Items | Mail, I can send/receive test messages forever, but
doing the same thing through Outlook always fails, issuing the following
messages:

.. Send test e-mail message: The specified server was found, but there was no
response from the server.
.. Log onto incoming mail server (POP): The specified server was found, but
there was no response from the server.
.. Find outgoing mail server (SMTP): Outlook could not connect to the
outgoing mail server (SMTP).

Any ideas?

Regards,
Graham R Seach

Do you have a virus scanner installed that integrates with Outlook?
Disable/uninstall this integration and try again.

Hi Robert,

Symantec EndPoint Protection 11 uninstalled. Still can't connect to incoming
POP.

Never mind. I found the problem on Google.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\##sol#devtools]
had a Shell key appended to it. I deleted it, and all's well with the world.
