A clue in the Outlook 2007/Hotmail fiasco....

[squishy]

It has to be something in the registry.

I am using Vista Ultimate 32 bit and Office Pro 2007. My Outlook would NOT
connect to Hotmail - no matter what I did (delete and re-add account, use
the wizard, add account manually, delete and re-create PST file).

But, I added another user to my PC, opened that user and added my Hotmail
account to 2007 with no problems at all.

I am going to compare the registry entries and see if I can locate the
problem.
