HI, Just got a new laptop with Vista today. I installed Office 03, and can
not for the life of me get exchange to work. I use a hosted exchange
service, used the correct setup, and am unable to connect to the Server.
When I use the install/setup tool provided by the Hoster (alentus) - it only
gives me VPN option, and mentions that that I need to get XP SP 2 to use
RPC!?? I can't ping the exchange server from this machine - and can from
everyother machine in the office....help me please! I fire up outlook, it
says it cant find exchange server, i if click work offline, it says that
outlook1.ost is not a valid offline folder and closes outlook...i cant do
anything!! Thanks so much!!

Did you install Office 03 or Office 07?
