This is probably something you should have tested out before you
left on that cruise. :-(
Scripts that work with Outlook Express are not going to work with
Windows Mail, and OE can't be installed on Vista.
You are probably not in a position to fix this now, but one solution
would have been to set that laptop up for dual-booting between
Vista and XP, or else just wipe it and install only XP.
Virtual PC may work, but I have no experience with it.
