Hi, First off Vista (which version do you have ?) is a fine OS, it will grow on you as you become more acustomed to it. Outlook is outdated and has been replaced with Windows Mail. Numerous faults with Outlook so move on now. Office 2008 is expensive, if you are an NHS employee, or work in a learning establishment / have kids in school then there are huge discounts available to you.

Printer, do not plug printer in, install the software / drivers from <manufacturer> CD rom. Following onscreen instructions. Printer is connected last, then Vista will find it.

In what way has Outlook been replaced by WIndows Mail? Outlook is still a product afaik?


I'm running Outlook 2003 on my Vista box, but am about to upgrade to 2007 (courtesy of the recent Microsoft licence freebies published here).

Outlook Express is being (has been?) discontinued in favour of Windows Live Mail.

My preference on Windows and Linux would be Thunderbird; I use Apple Mail on my Mac instead.

The Technet furore? You do realise that, if it hasn't happened already, all of the keys generated through accounts that weren't eligible to receive them are going to be blacklisted very shortly. Any products activated with them will start to fail activation and become unusable..
