The easiest way to create a sig with a graphic is to create an html sig and
add a line like the following:

<A href="http://pathtoimagetarget"><IMG alt="Text that appears when the
image is inaccessible" src="http://pathtoimage.jpg"></A>

For example... past the following into Notepad and save as an htm file (not
as a text file). Open it in a browser and click on the bear... go to Google.

Locate your image on a shared server and link to it, don't try to embed the
image file into your sig. Although I grabbed a gif file for the image I
prefer either png or jpg sources.

<A href="http://www.google.com"><IMG alt="Meet my favorite teddy bear."
src="http://www.bearsonboard.org/teddy%20bear.gif"></A>

By which I presume that you have set up your email account in Windows Live
Mail. You must have an email account to set up; Windows Live Mail does not
provide an email account.

Each computer will have a unique email client application. If both are set
to access the same email account, and that email account is a POP3 email
account (you never said what kind of email account you have), the default
for any client than WLM is to delete email from the POP3 server after
downloading. So it is possible to see what you are describing. But you
really need to explain yourself more clearly.

Keep in mind that the email client application (Windows Live Mail, Mozilla
Thunderbird, Windows Mail, MS Outlook Express, etc., etc.) is a different
"thing" than an email account.

I don't know. I don't use HTML signatures.

> 4) I have Windows 7- how do i make 2 pages appear on the screen???


I imagine that would depend upon the email client application. Some might
allow it, others might not.

Would this Windows Live email be a Hotmail type account(e.g. Hotmail.com, Live.com, Msn.com or similar Hotmail.uk.com, etc)

Is the account on the desktop a shortcut that opens your browser and the Hotmail web interface ?

If the account in Question 1 doesn't work, how do you know you don't get mail on two computers(Question 2)?

If you are using a browser to access a Windows Live Hotmail type email account, you don't add a logo to your signature.

If both computers are checking the same email account, whichever
one completes its email download first will make those emails
unavailable to the second PC. To fix that problem, go to Tools,
Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Advanced,
select "Leave a copy of messages on server."

Repeat the above on the second computer.
