Aparently, if I upgrade to IE7 or the new IE8, then Outlook Express
won't work any more. Wants to go to Windows Live Mail, which I rather
don't like.

Most of the web sites out there balk at Internet Exploder 6, and insist
I upgrade. I upgrade, and OUtlook Express stops working.

Why bother using either? They both suck. Hotmail and Gmail cover 99%
of everything you need to do..and Firefox or Chrome..or even Opera
work nicely for those. If your internet account comes with an email
account.....simply download Pegasus Email for free

Hell..Gmail can be set up to check your regular ISP email account..so
you dont even need to log into it..simply use Gmail. So can Pegasus
Email IRRC. Ive used it for years on the kids and grandkids computers.

Doing newsgroups..I already sent you a good copy of Forte Agent which
you acknowledged receiving. Using lame software known to be problem
children for years...shrug...you really should know better than that.

Its not rocket science Norman...you simply have to do stuff properly.
Like checking to see what voltage that blower motor is. Is it 110vt or
220? Simply stuff. No brainer stuff.

Ive got a puter thats been up for 7 yrs, 24/7. Windows XP too.
Im waiting for the drive to fail one of these days...so I keep regular
automatic backups with a external USB drive. $50 brand new at the
MicroCenter. When it goes..Im not going to fix it..Ill replace it
with a P4 Ive got sitting on a self as a hot spare.

What's with the "old"? If you installed XP on the new drive, you also
installed IE and OE. OE will work just fine; AFAIK, it has no dependencies
upon IE but even if it did, you have a pristine install of it. You may have
problems with IE - that version is old now - on some sites unless you update
Java and Flash and maybe even then; you might need to update it too via MS.
There are other browsers.
