When you said, ". . . if your loading your live mail using the url mail.live.com you could try selecting the link on the main screen to use the more basic version ",
What and where is the main screen I use to get the basic version of Live? And, is this in IE or Firefox?
As you can see, even after ten+ years of usuing a PC, I'm still pretty limited in knowledge!
If you can give step-by-step instructions, I'd kiss your monitor!
Load IE and in the Address bar type mail.live.com (make sure you have already logged out as if you are already logged in it will simply take you to your inbox). then enter you username and password as normal. Lastly when you click login text will appear to say that it is connecting to your account and loading etc; at the bottom of that text it should say something along the lines of "loading taking to long click here" and it will initiate a lower bandwidth version of live mail. I've used it before and it almost like using the old hotmail but, with the slightly newer interface.
I think I love you Argowen. Thank you so much - I'll give it a try - I live in a really remote area in San Diego county, and I use Sprint for my broadband, but it has very slow connection speed.
But I'll do anything to at least get my mail!
