Vista and Outlook 2002 error - program is trying to access e-mail

Hello I'm hoping someone can help me. I have just purchased a new laptop
running Vista Home Premium. I have installed Outlook 2002 (it's SP3) but
whenever I open Outlook or any program tries to access contacts etc i get
this error message:

"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook.
Do you want to allow this?"

The only way of getting rid of this is to click the red cross several
hundred times which is very irritating. Is there a simple fix out there? Or
is it a question of upgrading to the latest version of Outlook?

Thank you.

If you have an Anti-virus, uninstall it, and install the above.

Also, install the above to get rid of spyware.

Normally the only prob with Outlook 2002 is that it can not remember
passwords.
I use 2003, so I have not seen the error message that comes up in 2002

Outlook 2002 is not fully compatible with Vista, several issues have
been reported.

By MICHAEL:
Outlook 2002 works well with Vista, except remembering email passwords.
Don't look for that to be fixed, either.

You'll just have to keep Outlook opened for as long as you can if you don't
want to enter the password every time.

Does Outlook work on Vista?

Naturally, Outlook 2007, the newest version of Outlook, works well on Vista.
(It also works
great on Windows XP.) Outlook 2003 works well on Vista as well. Both of
these versions are
officially supported on Vista, so if any issues arise Microsoft will offer
public hotfixes or include the fix in future Service Packs.

Outlook 2002: It runs, but email account passwords are not saved. After you
enter the password
during the first email check, Outlook will remember it until you close down
Outlook. This is
because Outlook used the protected storage interfaces to store passwords and
these are no
longer supported in Vista. Unless Microsoft decides to create a publicly
available hotfix to
address this, you won't be able to save passwords. Outlook 2002 is outside
of mainstream
support so this is unlikely to happen as it's not a critical security hole.

You can use a Windows script program such as AutoIt to enter the password
for you.

Note that when you enter the password, the Send and Receive that brought up
the password dialog
may fail but future send and receives will work. Leave Outlook open 24/7 to
avoid entering it
frequently.

As I remember that, it is either your AntiVirus or Secutity software
settings are too high.
Cjheck your settings.
