To answer 1st question:
The source of the download was:
http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
I have successfully installed from that source fine on a couple of other PC,
but they were running under XP.
To answer 2nd question:
I am actually helping a friend and cannot answer the adminstrator question
at this time and the friend is leaving for vacation until next week, so I
will have to reopen the thread then. Sorry...
Thanks -- Sam
