I have been using Office 97 in vista for months with no problems. I do not like Windows Mail that comes with Vista. Recently, I tried to energize Outlook but cannot open it. Any ideas?

By "energize" do you mean execute/run? What happens?

It was installed last year, but I had not used it. I tried to open it to use it for the first time. I got a message"Cannot open Outlook". I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, got same message twice.

No other details? Just "Cannot open Outlook?" Try an Office Repair.

Wasn't aware it existed, but found several on net. Do you recommend one?

My last post on 3/10 didn't make it. Maybe I'll do better this time.
Thanks Jennifer. I was referring to office repair programs. There are several on the net and I thought that was what you were recommending I use.
Maybe I should explain what I am trying to do. I just want an address book with the ease of use of Outlook Express. The one with vista is not as flexible and is prone to error. I felt that if I could get Outlook to work it would be satisfactory. I do not need the data base that Outlook provides.
