MSN/Hotmail & Vista question

Hi everyone,

Am going to show how simple I really am here. I got a new laptop which has Vista home basic on it. So I havent noticed any difference between it and the desktop I had, am I suppose to?

I'm having a problem with my hotmail account. I clicked on the upgrade to hotmail live window and since I dont that, I cant copy and paste into any emails, I cant open any word attachments from emails, and now I want to go back to the old hotmail settings and have no idea how to. Can anyone talk me really basically through this, and I mean basic and simply, rams to me our sheep kinda talk.

Thanks in advance

Cate

    Open up your Windows live account.

    On the top right under your name and sign out option click the "options" button

    on the next page load there is a option on the main page at the top to "switch to MSN hotmail". Click that and you will be back to the Msn layout.

    By the way I think you have to mark email "mark as safe" to view attachments in Windows Live mail. this is noramlly found by the "from" email address of the person that sent you it.

    once you click that it should load.
