MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Outlook 2002 quits on switch to battery?
Running on a Vista HP laptop... Since I set Outlook up to run "as administrator" (the only way I could get it to cooperate properly with AVG antivirus for email scanning...) it has taken to qutting when the laptop switches to battery power... I don't understand it - and I can't fnd any way to stop it. It's very annoying because under Vista the absence of appropriate "Protected Storage" for email account passwords means I have to re-enter them when it restarts...and sometimes Outlook complains it didn't shut down properly and spends an age checking the PST file for corruption when I restart it. If anyone can help resolve this I'd be very grateful!

Quite correct John, the unsupport is the lack of Protected Storage I referred to - though there may be other aspects to it... but apart from that it works OK - except for the recent "quit on switch to battery" feature when run "as admin"! I could understand there might be a choice to turn off the wireless i/f on a laptop on a switch to battery power (to extend operations; and I was only wirelessly connected at the time), but why should Outlook choose to quit? Not handling email doesn't turn off the transmitter! (Note to self - must try unplugging the DC with wireless off) SignatureJulian I-Do-Stuff Some Vista stuff, but mostly just Stuff at http://berossus,blogspot.com > Running on a Vista HP laptop... > > Since I set Outlook up to run "as administrator" (the only way I > could get it to cooperate properly with AVG antivirus for email > scanning...) it has taken to qutting when the laptop switches to > battery power... You shouldn't be scanning mail. It's unnecessary and can lead to miscommunication between Outlook and the mail server. WHat do you mean by "switches to battery power"? Do you mean when you unplug the power supply? > I don't understand it - and I can't fnd any way to stop it.

Vista continues to run when you switch, correct? I've never seen an issue when changing to battery power from wall power, but if it occurs, it could be a Windows, networking, or PC issue and not an Outlook one. Describe what happens in detail.

Describe > what happens in detail. Vista continues to run; there are no other apparent effects. Windows seemed and seems to continue to be fine, ditto networking and PC... Detail? Er... I unplugged from the wall so someone else could use the socket in the cafe and noticed Outlook doing it's specified Send & Receive before quitting... and Outlook quit. Nothing in the event logs at the time of unplugging - Application or System - relating to either unplugging or Outlook (it did not "stop working"), or as far as I can tell network operations... which is puzzling SignatureJulian I-Do-Stuff Some Vista stuff, but mostly just Stuff at http://berossus,blogspot.com > Detail?

I've never had that happen. Perhaps someone else will be able to contribute. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Hope someone knows something! >> Detail? Er...
