Re: Vista laptop coming - do I fdisk?

That's correct, but it's no different under Vista than XP; Outlook (full Outlook) has no newsgroup reader. In XP you can use Outlook Express (a very different program), in Vista I think you can use Vista's mail program. In fact, I use Outlook for E-Mail and Thunderbird for newsgroups (in XP).

If I recall Outlook does not include a newsgroup reader and uses the OE one ( in version 2000 anyway). This could be the issue.

That simply is not true, at least not for Office 2003 (it might be true for 97 or 2000, or even Outlook XP). I've done clean installs of just Vista followed immediately by a clean install of just Office 2003 with no other software present, and Outlook works fine with no futzing or tweaking required. I have not tried any versions of Outlook prior to 2003.

Office for the most part will work fine, but Outlook won't under Vista.
As Outlook depends on some files from Outlook Express which Vista
doesn't have. Someone figured out what files you need and have made them
available, but I can't find it right now.
