David, so, if I upgrade to win 7, I can use windows live mail without issues? Or should I just go to win 8, use windows live mail and move on with my life? I'm beginning to think that I need a masters in computer science to send e mails to my friends! It is ridiculous to confront choices like this without enough information. And I've been on line with jaws since miy first computer which was windows 95. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

: Actually it is called windows mail which was introduced in Vista and then : promptly abandon. Yes it is almost the same as outlook express and it can be : enabled in windows 7 the fact is to do it requires adding a few keys to your : registry and replacing a DLL file or so. I have done it and the files ETC : are still on my server I must point out a something. You must have service : pack 1 installed prior to enabling windows mail to play it safe. To be : honest so far that is the current stumbling block that I am aware but that : does not mean there won't be future issues to come. : : A word to the wise and like the note on the server says "this should not be : done by a beginner". : David Ferrin : Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones : that mind don't matter. : : -----Original Message----- : From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On : Behalf Of Marilyn Walker : Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2013 11:10 PM : To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com : Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Cost of upgrading jaws? : : SUgar and Scorpio and all: I'm nervous,, too, but hearing that Outlook : Express is included in win 7 is easing my mind a bit.
