Hi Mo If you have the time to spare, may I also have instructions on how to initiate Outlook Express on a Windows 7 home premium 64 bit machine?

What windows7 version are you using? 32bit or 64bit? outlook express is still there, though its buried in program files as windows mail. It was never meant to be part of windows7 but still is. I will send you instructions in due corse on how to reenable it. If you'd also like to revert back to xp because of the classic look start menu, you should install classic shell. this excellent little program will revert your toolbars and start menu back to basic xp stile. I'll wait to hear further from you. Mo. On 01/08/2012 23:53, jeff flint wrote: I hate Windows 7 largely because I can't use Outlook Express which I find easy and logical. Eudora and Thunderbird seem to behave bizarrely on my machine. If I go back to XP what is the downside? Also any other email programmes which work as easily as Outlook Express out there? Jeff
