| | I have a couple of questions about the tutorial, specifically the following steps: Quote: 3. Make a copy of the folder in case something goes wrong. 4. Go to the same folder in Vista and copy it. 5. Now Delete the original folder and replace with the Vista ones. 3- ok, copy the file to an external HDD AFTER taking ownership? 4 - are you using vista and 7 dual boot? How can I go into the Vista folder after 7 is installed? 5- is this after the Windows 7 installation? |

| | keeners welcome to SevenForums. Yes copy your vista folder to a external. Usb thumb drives a very cheap and work great. #4 Yes you will need to do this before installing 7 if you are installing over the top of vista. You may however find them in Windows old folder if during the install 7 created this folder for you. #5 yes . good luck to you |

| | I did everything as written.......... but now when I start Windows Mail I just get a message saying"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check to see if you need 32 bit or 64 bit" Well I have 64 Bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium.  |

Should I un install WLM? But they seem to work together, I create a message in WM, save it as, but when you open it, it opens in WLM and gets sent from there as well. What happens if I remove WLM?? Thanks. |

With enough tweaking and tuning I could make it look and act pretty much like O.E.6. If you already have Windows Mail set up on Vista, getting it over to Win-7 is a piece of cake. The first trick is to get and install "Take Ownership". InstallTakeOwnership.reg - File Shared from Box.net - Free Online File Storage Then open the Windows Mail folder in Win-7 and select all the files, then "Take Ownership" of all the files. Then delete them ALL. Then copy the same files from Vista and paste them into the now-empty Windows Mail folder in Win-7. Make a shortcut to the Windows Mail executable and put it on the desktop. Run it and set it up as you would in Vista. Job done. I've done it several times now and each time I do it.........it just gets easier and easier. But it never fails to work. Good Luck, y'all ! The Doctor  I didn't save WM folder prior to upgrade to Win 7, is this my issue? Win 7 |
