All saved email in all versions of XP is stored in a .dbx file. If you can find that file within the Outlook/Outlook Express program folder, you may be able to restore your compacted email. I was successful in doing so when I still worked with an XP system. If you can't locate that file, chances are your email has left the premises....or is buried so deep that it will take one of the programs DA is suggesting to rout it out. HTH Anne

urlee Apparently my default mail is Windstream. Windstream is my ISP and has been for several years. I will go to their web site and try to change that. No, leave that as is. My ISP is my default mail too! When you downloaded WLM, did you have to enter info from your server like incoming pop3, and outgoing smtp? I am guessing that is what makes WLM work as default to my knowledge. because when the Windows Live software was downloaded, what I got was a Hot Mail address Are you sure you downloaded WLM for Win7 and NOT the Hotmail one?. If so, then it looks like your hotmail one went default on you like it did me automatically before.

Are you sure you finished the group set up? It should show up under your Window Contacts either from the Windows Mail screen or by clicking Start--Programs--Window Contacts. Bob

Do a backdrop of draperies pulled back. If you have a floral/stripe/print of some sort, and a solid, use together for fullness. Tie them back using something from the store~a bouquet of silk flowers and a ribbon? How about a Valentine table setting, using a variety of dishes from the store? Use different candlesticks for a centerpiece(or various crystal wine glasses),along with placemats/napkins~store items also. Use scarfs that might tie in with a Valentine Day theme tied in bows around the chairs. Also use a scarf or runner under the centerpiece~don't lay it flat, shrunch it up to give it a more designer look. Good luck! ;o)
