Sorry, I'm actually asking this question for my cousin, who lives in another
state from me. I do know that she does not have a Hotmail account because I
tried to show her how to set one up and she told me she hasn't tried yet.
She's been using Windows Mail for a couple of months now and this problem
just popped up when she attempts to send an email from that account. I'm
fairly certain she has not installed Windows Live Mail either. As dumb as I
am about this stuff, I'm practically an expert compared to her and I know she
wouldn't attempt to install anything. She had someone come over and set up
her Windows Mail for her and things have been working fine until now.
Another issue ... How do you find a post you've made in this community? I
thought I knew but I made a post for myself in Either Windows Vista or
Windows Vista General about a driver update I received through Windows
Update. I haven't received an notification of answers and I can not find that
post.
