Dual OS problems

    Ok, I'm no Mac expert but we have one in the office for compatibility testing prurposes. As far as I can tell it original at OS 9 and now OS X is installed and is the primary system. Today we have the need to do some testing with Outlook 2001, but it is not installed or any office package. Found a download link for it and now have it installed.

    Problem is that when I go to run it, it starts to run in OS 9. Even when I force OS 9 to shut down and is not running it starts up OS 9 so it can run. I've stopped OS 9 and reinstalled Outlook without it running but still it continues to load OS 9 when it wants to start.

    Now although I'm not happy about it running as part of OS 9 it does run, but fails to connect to exchange server. So just wondering what is happening or am I doing wrong?

    Thanks

    I thought Entourage was the "replacement " for Outlook with Office v.X and Office X 2004 ??

    Man, maybe you don't know it but OS X has Classic installed to run older apps that are not designed to run with OS X. When you launch an app that is for Classic only, it will launch Classic to run the app but will revert to OS X for more up to date apps. Make more sense to you?

    Nail on the head. Office 2001 is an OS 9 only app.

    Yes. It would actually work but we don't have a microsoft Exchange server in place for it to connect too, so we got to recommend to the client splash out a little.

    Thanks for the help guys, cleared a bit up for me!
