Hello to All, Thank you for the responses and for the private responses too. I bought two HP computers at the same time with slightly different Model numbers. (One for my daughter.) It's funny that both of the old ones failed at the same time. My old one is barely running but is now disconnected. I kept getting a Norton Pop-up ad and could not stop it. I've been all day and finally found the solution. Norton has an uninstall tool. That pop-up Ad was built into both HP computers but it is gone now. I uninstalled Everything of Norton in both computers using the Norton uninstall tool from their web site. As for the Win 7 no-go for Outlook Express, I am not too happy. I do not want to add another email account. If I cannot use my jcnreno@charter.net on a new email system, then I do not want it. I already have Google and Charter.net. Hey, I love this list. I never knew it existed before yesterday.
