If you haven’t heard me say it before, hear me now. Do not buy Microsoft Windows Vista, stick with XP. Vista will not be ready for Prime Time for at least another year (if then).
Today I was unable to add an email account in Outlook on a Vista laptop. I went to an XP machine and was able to add it with no trouble. Came back to the laptop in question, turned off the Windows Firewall, added the account with no trouble, turned the firewall back on, and was able to use the account in Outlook with no problem. So, Vista wouldn’t let me add the account but once I got it working it didn’t mind using the account… go figure.
"The question was, 'Have you rebooted?' not 'Do you believe that rebooting will help your situation?'"
