iweb Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) I have been using Outlook Express, I loaded Office XP Pro today and a new Outlook came up so I imported the old info and now a freaking Outlook box comes up saying another program is trying to access my email address and do I want to allow it. If I hit no I have to hit it 6-8 times and the box goes away for a few seconds and then come back. If I click yes I have to pick a time and I have to do that 4 or 5 times until the box goes away for the time I pick then the box(s) are back. I rebooted twice and ran virus protection scan twice. When I open Outlook Express I don't get the boxes. What can I do to get rid of the box? Edited April 28, 2008 by iweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iweb Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 XP and Office XP Pro not sure of year but I don't think 2007. I can't just uninstall Outlook as it shows up in the control panel as Office not individual programs in Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHIZ Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Do you have some type of access databse that automatically sends e-mails? That is when I have seen the type of error message you're describing. As far as the times it pops up, they only allow the program to access your e-mail for that ammount of time. I would suggest maybe giving it a shot to see what the hec it is tryign to e-mail so that you may be able to narrow down the culprit. I don't think that Outlook in Office 2003 is the issue.

Hmmm..... all of mine are separated out like this: However when I click on the Office program I get a change option: When I click the change option I get this....which should allow you to choose certain components.
