Hi Michael,
I have done what you suggested many many times, but it always goes back to
"Use My Current Email Program" and WLM is Enable Access to this Program. I
can't understand why WLM is not checked as the default program. Do you have
any other ideas? I would really appreciate if you could figure this out!!!
By the way, my OS is Vista Home Premium, 64bit.
Thanks so much,
Eileen
