Thanks I will give Windows Live a try.
Some VERY odd things happen on this computer. I don't know if it's Outlook or Firefox or the computer Itself. I know I bought it refurbished from the computer store, but the odd things only happen intermittently so how do I go in and say - this computer does strange things. If it's not doing strange things at the time.
What it does - when it feels like it - it will duplicate things. I will click the "x' to close a window, and instead, another identical window appears. It will go on like that until I have six or seven identical windows open! So far as I remember, if I fiddle around - and manage to close out of Firefox and restart it. That seems to fix things. The other day, I got fed up with it. So I went to shut down - and it said "closing 86 windows"!!!
Oh - and another thing. When it goes all screwy like that - it loses my log ins. I had been on here the other day and was logged in. Today, it had lost my login!
I did go in to the store one day and talk to the guy about it - that was when I had the problem with the screen resolution changing. I said I was getting fed up and I should have bought a Mac - to which he said that Macs have problems too.
Maybe I will wait to see what you experts say about my problems before I download Windows Live Mail.
I did not have these problems with Windows XP!!
Here is a photo of what it does. I certainly did not intend to have that open so many times. It does it by itself. It must be the computer because that is not something that is either email or Firefox. Sorry if its too big. But Photobucket got stuck!
