As soon as I load up outlook, I tried to import things, it locked up.

Now as soon as I open it...."Not responding"

Frown sent to them. POS. lol.

I am now repairing it. If that doesnt work its getting uninstalled and then re installed.

Not sure how long you waited, but it is generally a good idea to give it some time. As it probably is upgrading your PST file more than anything else.

I had that error too. I just looked through my connect directory until it came up, pressed apply and did it through there.

I suppose that the error had something to do with the registration. After I posted about the error, I looked around in the connect directory and found the download. I guess I wasn't expecting to have to browse through the connect directories.

Got it installed (32-bit). Haven't really seen anything that looks different from Office 2007, except for the animated "splash" screen when starting the office apps.

There is no PST file for it to use.

Windows Mail doesn't use PST files sadly. So it only said it couldn't find them. then it doesnt work.

Uninstalled it, then reinstalled but it kept the settings, so i am back at square one.

ugh this is such a mess. I try to import a save that I have of my Contacts and Inbox, but it says the PST file is already in use!

What the ****!

How can I import my contacts and Inbox that are PST folders?

When I start outlook it says "Cannot find inbox.pst file"

I hit ok

it says "Cannot find contacts.pst file"

I point it to where they are at. and it goes away,

then I go to "Import" and it wont let me import them because they are "already in use".

I got the issue fixed.

Now it has an option to import from Windows Mail. It imports my contacts. But not my email.

Can someone help me out.

When I set up an account it gives it, its own folder. and doesn't go to the default place.

below.

It places my email separately and doesn't do anything under "inbox".

What am I doing wrong?

I just got my invite. For those that have installed it: does it seem stable enough for daily use? I'm trying to decide if I'll install it on my work laptop or not.

Also, does anyone know if SharePoint Server 2010 will ever be part of the technical preview?

Did you setup and Exchange or Hotmail account?

No, at one point I had office 2007 installed. It took a fit, and I uninstalled it, so when I installed this version somewhere, the settings were around and it imported that.

If I go and delete those old files, outlook says "Cannot find Inbox and contacts.pst"

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By thartist · Posted

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.

      Ok.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.
