Hi,
I just installed Office XP on a comp and made two login ids .... the outlook seems to have a wierd problem... it works only from the id from where Office XP was installed in the other id it says not able to open the default mail folders and then shuts off ....
any ideas ?
earlier i had installed Office 2004 and the same thing was happenning ... so I tried office XP
(I have changed the default location of My Documents using the tweak UI... )
If you mean you've got 2 separate User accounts, then you have to add your email accounts in each User account (Tools>Email Accounts).
No I mean two different login ids (XP Login)
and two different email addresses for them...
and by the way outlook does not open to go to tools>email account
Hi Sameer
There is probably a better way to do this, but as a quick solution, try running your office install disk while logged on as the other user. I'don't think that you'll end up with two installations, but the second account will be properly configured for office.
I guess someone will come along and correct this and give the correct solution, but this should work in the short term. BF
I can't say I know of a faster way than what Big Fred has suggested. Typically you see this type of issue when installing the a program you were either not given the option to make the program accessible by all users or overlooked it ; an incredibly easy mistake to make almost to the point that it could be considered a flaw in the OS. Not that Microsoft ever made software with a flaw. ;)
And no Big Fred it won't end up with two installations.
