Tried putting Live Mail on my Win98/SE computer and got a message about a
missing DL.
The DL was not specified. Will Live Mail work on a Win98 system?

you're kidding right?

WLM will only run on Win XP, Vista and Windows 7.

For Win98, the only free Microsoft mail program is Outlook Express.

But there are other alternatives, Thunderbird and Eudora to name two....

True, but Microsoft products are far superior.

I can think of no worse email and news clients than MS Outlook Express,
Windows Mail, or Windows Live Mail.

I can name many superior:

Opera 9.64 (browser suite includes a mail and news client).
SeaMonkey 1.1.17 (browser suite includes a mail and news client).
Mozilla Thunderbird
Forté Agent (paid version included mail and news).
Gravity (and Super Gravity) (primarily a news client).
Xnews (primarily a news client).
40tude Dialog (primarily a news client, but can be used for email).
Pegasus Mail (email only).
Eudora
The Bat!

Shall I continue?

Thanks to everyone who responded. I have two computers, one a 2004 Gateway
running XP/Home, I have had to replace on this computer the fan (which is
not carried by them, only one place on the Internet had it), the DVD/CD
drive (failed to open), twice the floppy drive (which I hardly ever use),
the Monitor (a CRT type that lasted only one year) and the Mouse whose
scroll feature when south. I also have a 1998 Compaq Presario running
WIN98/SE that nothing had to be replaced on and is my backup for when my
Gateway goes south.
