Hi
I have been using Outlook 2007 with Outlook Connector for my Hot mail.
Today I received a message telling me that I must upgrade my Connector.

I followed the instruction till I came to the question of

Repair Connector

Remove Connector

I choose Repair, but after some installation, the same question came back
and my Outlook does not appear to get to Hot Mail.

What is going on and what do I have to do when I come to the choice of
Repair vs. Remove.

Thanks

Don S

Use the full (new/updated) installer - it works.

Hi

I did restart it a couple of times, but after a REPAIR action.

Actually I think I have it solved -- per suggestion from Duncan McC did
work -- after some retries.

The answer is to "Remove" the Connector and then install it from the MS
site. After some confusing screens and processes, and restarting the
computer, the problem was resolved.

The BIG gripe I have is that if this came from Microsoft, it was a really
"shitty" (using professional language) set of directions -- actually no
direction or explanation at all.
For while I thought this was a virus or similar. Hard to understand why
after years of usage, this change had to be made, unless MS did a backdoor
installation of SW which was no longer compatible with "new" stuff.

Thanks

Don S>
