Having just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 HP preinstalled, I installed
my own Office XP suite.

The only issue is that Outlook doesn't seem to store my email password
properly. When I launch it I get the username and password popup with the
password as **********. Clicking OK gets my emails, and subsequent
send/receive works fine.

Anyone have any idea wheather this is an incompatibility between two MS
products, or any other ideas?

Yep, that's one of the known issues.

It's a known problem. As Office 2002 isn't supported on Windows 7 you may
have to either lump it or fork out for a version that is. (2003, 2007 or
2010 when it's released)

Thanks Guys,

Good old Microsoft, done it again. Amazing how many ways they manage to find
to screw more dosh out of the 'faithful' users.

This is an incompatibility, easy to understand when you consider that Office
2002 is 8 years old. Vista and Windows 7 require Office 2003 or better.
