Hi, I have an old version of microsoft office, which was working fine until the 1st of december. Then windows decided to force an upgrade on me, and by the time it was too late, my outlook stopped working and reports an error.
"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Outlook requires Microsoft Outlook Express 4.01 or greater"
I have tried to download this, but I've followed endless links and trails, and cant actually get to anywhere where I can get this file.
I was quite happy with the original, very professional, business like Outlook, but now I cant run it. And what makes it worse, I have hundreds of archived important emails, receipts and information, which I cannot access now.
I have been on to outlook support, and all they did was to give me access to a very unfriendly, very limited, web based 'outlook' program. This is better than nothing, and I can access new emails, but cant see anything older than a month ago, which was awkward in itself, when I had a web receipt of over a month ago, that I couldn't access.
Also I cant sync this with my phone, so anything unread just accumulates to hundreds of unwanted emails in my phone inbox.
I realise that all you experts will say, yeah move with the times, use web based and other programs, but that's not the issue here. The issue is that I had something important, and now I have lost it, and want it back. I want access to all my old emails, templates, addresses, contacts, receipts, records.....not just a month's worth.
I want my original program to work, however old it is.
I have a Lenovo laptop running windows 10, and I bought Microsoft Office XP standard, some years ago, which was more than adequate.
Any help would be appreciated..
