VISTA period! It STINKS!!!!!!!
I'm not great on a PC so VISTA makes me very angry. I think it stinks!!!! There's always something going haywire ---- can't do this , won't do that. XP is so much better. Right now, my screen saver is going nuts before, I couldn't print, before that black screens.
What junk!
I'm going to bed now I have a headache!

I feel your pain Mike. I have Vista and XP dual boot system, I keep going back to XP.Get this, I use 2 homail accounts that I have had for Years, and could pop the email from them in Outlook Express, nice to be able to do this, real nice. Guess what, the new Windows Mail will not do this, pop function has been removed for hotmail, is this stupid or what. So now I cannot use one MS product with another MS product. Mowron's.704

mombodog I agree with you that it is annoying that they removed this feature from Windows Mail but you can download a program called Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta which will allow you to do this. Don't worry about the beta tag, it has been out for ages and I have been running it without any issues on both XP and Vista for at least a year now. Go to http://ideas.live.com/ to sign up for the beta.704

I am running an upgrade version of Vista and like it now that i was able to fix a few bugs. Had the similar issues when XP first came out. The trick is not to install it if you don't have the patience to work through the bugs. Better to wait until they issue a service pack. But, if you bought a PC with Vista you are stuck with it.I'm more annoyed with vendors like HP that won't support a printer just a few years old with Vista drivers. Instead they stick a link on their support page for you to pick out a new Vista certified printer....I don't think so HP, I'm going with Canon from now on.704

Mowron's. mombodog...then simply use Windows Live Desktop Mail. It is a desktop client that does POP (gmail, yahoo, etc) and connects to Hotmail. Vista is a fabulous OS...if you simply take your time and get the right apps to do the job.704
