Vista and Outlook 2003
My Outlook always asks for a password after every log off from Outlook even although I have ticked the box to remember my details. When I attempt to change the registry (from a post I found earlier) it does not allow me to change the entry, even although I try it from the actual Administrator account. I did not have such a problem in XP. It appears to be a permissions related problem. Any ideas??

I've had many similar problems with programs doing things like that in Vista. I've always gotten them to work by finding the actual executable file for the application in program files, right click on it, and give it administrative privileges. This has always worked for me.

If the profile is bad, that won't solve the problem.

Thanks for all the replies so far. I did uninstall office and re-install under the administrator but still fails. Have not tried a new profile yet. I can see the entry in the registry that needs changing (as per a knowledge base article from Microsoft) but it will not let me change it saying I do not have permission, even though I am trying this from both my account and the actual Admin account. I shall try creating a new profile.
