And the home version less ram memory, but then you have space for nothing else. I never tried the windows anytime upgrade in the start menu? Window 7 is not free, unless the PC you bought came with it.

Can Windows 7 be downloaded on to an XP machine for free, now? Can Win 7 be purchased and downloaded to an XP machine? Thanks.

That's why you cannot send or receive mail. I don't knowt, if outlook 2013 will work on XP, but it works great on wind7.

Not sure about the error message and what it says. I think she has an XP machine. Hopefully, The MS help desk will help her switch to Outlook or WLM.

Does she get an error message? If so, what is it? Also, what operating system is she running? To my knowledge, the Microsoft Accessibility people won't help with Outlook Express since it's not supported / used by Microsoft any more. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

Did not know Outlook Express could be re-installed.

I would have her contact the Microsoft disability services office. They can remote in to her computer and just handle all this. In closing, I suspect her contacts and data should all still be there, that it is just the software that is messed up.

Can neither send nor receive e-mails. Everything else seems to be working on her computer. Internet connection is fine, and she uses Frontier. Will going to Outlook 2010 solve her problem? Secondly, will she be able to import her contacts, and import all of the outlook express e-mails? Can the Microsoft accessibility Help Desk assist her in that importing effort?
