Frustration, I would imagine, though now that he has requested some actual help, we are glad to provide it... Really, thunderbird is a full featured email client that does what outlook express did and more... it deserves a look....
Also keep in mind that with any new OS, you need to keep an open mind long enough to give it an honest evaluation... Its a different mind set from what you were used to, and once you get familiar with it, the battle is won...
Besides....microsoft is SHOVING Windows 7 at us. Their ultimate goal is to stop supporting XP as soon as they can. Up till now they have been pretty much forced to provide ongoing XP support, but with a successful Windows 7 launch they are probably, even now, planning a quick demise for XP. Just something to keep in mind.
Once you take the time to learn Windows 7, you will never go back. (I basically went from XP to Win7, and it was not too hard to get used to. I am a convert now.)
You can send me your windows 7 cd and serial key if you want to
Can't understand why people find Live mail difficult, I suppose getting used to a new idea is hard at first, but not difficult to use.
I use Windows Mail in my Vista, and Live mail in Seven.
Thanks for th tips guys, I'll search for thunderbird when I get home.
Anyone hep me stop the explorer window appearing at start up???
You can lead a lot of users to Window 7 , but you can't make them use it.
But the ones that really make the effort, will enjoy it & be happy with it !

Rot..! Microsoft tried something entirely new with Vista and unfortunately got caught with their pants down, because few software/hardware manufacturers kept up their side of the bargain so at launch time there was a barrage of criticism, much of it unfairly directed at Microsoft.
IMHO they didn't need to rush headlong into an even newer system (Windows 7) so fast as Vista is now working quite well for the most part.
The life cycle of Microsoft Operating Systems is published for all to see on the web and XP's extended support has always had an expiry date of 2014. Nothing has changed. Just Google it.
There was very little wrong with Vista that wasnt fixed by the first Service Pack.
XP is awfully long in the tooth. It was a great OS but its 8 years old and its time to put her down.
By saying that you are a novice user, you arent really qualified to decide which is better.
I could ramble off a couple hundred reasons why Vista and 7 are better than XP but you probably wouldnt understand them anyway.
