I am using MS-Outlook 2010 on my Windows Vista computer. I can’t seem to access hotmail mailbox and giving me an error telling me to upgrade to the latest version of Outlook Connector with choices to Upgrade Now or Remind Me Later. Choosing Upgrade Now does not have effect except for it will close the outlook window. How can I fix this so I can access my mails again?
Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector gives the users a solution to manage their Windows Live Hotmail Messages, Calendar, Contacts from within your Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010.

3. Type appwiz.cpl and then click OK. This will open the Add/Remove Programs (For Windows XP) or Programs and Features (For Windows 7 and Vista).

For 32-Bit version of Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010:
