Changing mail back to outlook Express?

[Guest]

I have Vista and cannot send mail at all since November. I can receive it for
a few seconds than it stops but cannot send anyuthing. I installed my old
Hard Drive from my other computer and have emails, pictures and messages in
Outlook Express from my son who passed away a short while ago.

How can I get Outlook Express to open up instead of Windows Mail?

Even if I have to keep WE......can I still have Outlook Express on this
computer? Have I lost all these things from him?

Thank you,
Susan

I was told last night that I cannot go back to OE using a Vista computer.

Thank can I take Vista off of my computer and install Windows XP? Vista is
too slow and useless to me.

You will have to backup your data and then format the C" drive and then
install a retail copy of WinXP that is not installed on any other machine.

Actually, there is a little more to it, since many of the computer makers
have not released XP drivers for their Vista computers. This is especially
true for laptops. Sometimes you can't go back.
