Windows Vista Help.
We have bought a laptop so we can enter the 'Wireless' revolution. It uses Windows Vista as the operating system.
We used to use a desktop running Windows XP.
Our problem relates to e-mail accounts. The desktop used Outlook Express to access e-mails. This gave us the option to click on individual accounts and enter passwords for access.
Vista uses Windows Mail. This just puts all the e-mails into one account. We have tried to add new user accounts to Windows Mail, but the mail still gets put into one account.
Is there a way to use Outlook Express in Vista?
Failing that, how do we get separate e-mail accounts with password protection??
Thanx for any help.

Re: Windows Vista Help.
I haven't got a clue, sorry, and THIS link won't help you much either.
But if you click on/watch the "sad song" on the linked page, it just might get you to feel a bit better about it.

Just download 'Thunderbird' off the net. It's free and leaves 'Express' for cold.

I also had no crashes ever. My PC is ON 24/7. I only reboot when updates require to do so.

Re: Windows Vista Help.
Hmmm, Vista. i too have recently purchased a wifi laptop with vista home basic. i am going to wipe it in favour of xp pro. no matter what i try or what software i use (nero-roxio-vso convertxtodvd) it turns dvd-r disks into drinks coasters rather than films. fully updated service pack etc. it even tries to format a blank cd-r ???.
useless, unfit for purpose. ive been burning avi files and iso's for years, never seen anything as difficult and problematic before.

For me...
Buy Vista Ultimate...
Download Tiny Vista Rev 2 from a pirate torrent place and use that. 10x better than the real thing.

I will wait for Windows 7. One of my nephews has installed Windows 7 on his old (3 year) laptop. It runs like a charm. Requires less machine power and is speedier than Vista.
