Outlook connector prompting to upgrade
in [Outlook]

Prev: Outlook 2007 won't print
Next: Outlook Connector
From: Stagger on 3 May 2010 22:14 Morning all, Opened Outlook 2007 thismorning and I was prompted to upgrade Outlook connector, accepted the upgrade as it woud not let me access hotmail otherwise. When outlook shutdown to install the connector I was given a repair/remove option in the connector installer, selected repair. When outlook restarted I was again prompted to upgrade connector. Have now tried both repair/remove and various combinations of rebooting my PC during the install all with no effect. I still can't access hotmail though outlook. Anyone else seen this? The latest connector I have found on MS site is sept 09 so I should aready have this as its a fresh Win7 install on my PC from about Feb this year.

From: stconnolly on 3 May 2010 22:50 Same thing happened to me: selecting repair just kept in loop of downloading the upgrade without any effect. I tried to remove and install the upgrade but ended up with a fatal error that wouldn't allow outlook to launch. So I had to do a system restore. Outlook refuses to connect to my hotmail account without the upgrade. Frankly the old connector was pretty bad. This may be MS's way of getting rid of non-Exchange users....

From: Mark on 3 May 2010 23:14 I experienced the exact same phenomena this afternoon at 5:00. I was prompted to 'upgrade' to the new Outlook Connector. Endless loop resulted and Outlook 2007 can no longer access new .msn EMail. Can this be a virus?

So is the Outlook Hotmail Connector the *answer* to this problem?? Have you actually tried it? Its crippled compared to the OC v12.1 - it doesn't sync all folders like OC12.1 unless you have Outlook 2010... --- frmsrcurl: http://msgroups.net/microsoft.public.outlook.general/Outlook-connector-prompting-to-upgrade |
