IT Queries: Computer problems answered

I have bought a new computer – Dell inspiron with Vista home basic already installed. I could not get the email up and running (my fault), so i put microsoft office 2003 as i knew how to set up this email. now i am learning how to use Vista i do no need 2003 office. HOWEVER i cannot find 2007 email program.

I do not want to uninstall outlook 2003 until i find outlook 2007. Cannot uninstall individual programs in office either, so i asuming I can’t re-install just 2007 outlook.

The program you are looking for is Windows Mail, this is Vista’s successor to Outlook Express, the email program that was part of earlier versions of Windows. You’ll find this by clicking the Start Button and selecting All Programs.

A more important question is exactly what are you looking for. Windows Mail is a very different program to Outlook 2003 or 2007.

If you want to run Outlook with its calendar and scheduling features then you’ll need to install Office 2003 or 2007. Likewise if you want to use other Microsoft Office tools like Word and Excel.
