Big deal...I can't even install the damned thing. I've tried
everything under the sun and its a no go. I give up on it. I can
still get my Hotmail through the web interface so Microsoft can
stick their new concept LIVE ****.

The attempted installation screwed up the old version 12 so it
doesn't work either. Microsoft is being run my dummies. Also the
Update now turns into a continuous never ending loop and
requires a refresh to get a latch onto their overloaded system.
This happened a few years ago as well and it took them ages
before they go it fixed.
