Yes there is. You can run a virtual xp in windows 7, and Outlook Express will run ok in it. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx It's not too complicated to do, but you will need to understand program compatabilty modes... http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-is-program-compatibility Personally, I think it's a lot easier to use thunderbird. Give it a try. you won't regret it. I have used both thunderbird and outlook express daily since their very first versions, and although I have always liked outlook express, Thunderbird has everything outlook express had, and more, and it's real easy to use. Setting up email accounts in thunderbird is so easy, it almost does it for you. Merry Christmas Everyone.

I don't recommend virtual pc's for our newbies. I do recommend, endorse and agree with the Merry Christmas wishes. Blessings of the Season for all.

I thought a quick explanation about xp compatibility under windows7 may be useful. As many of you will know, windows7 will not run many of the old applications. This means that anyone upgrading to windows7 from xp will most likely loose some of their favourite applications. With this in mind, Microsoft supplies free utilities to create a virtual xp mode that allows you to run most of your old applications under windows7. As far as I know, the 'virtual xp' is only available for Windows7 *Professional* and Windows7 *Ultimate* users. Les Hardy
