Outlook Express doesn't run under Vista. Are you using another email
program (if so, which one?) or another version of Windows?
 
I have a Vista emachine, internet explorer is my default web browser, and I'
m using the windows mail that came with the system. I assume its outlook,
and I wrong
 
Some versions of Outlook will run under Vista, but not Outlook Express,
which is a different email program.
 
-- okay, so now what do I do? I'm looking to see if other people are having
problems and what to do about it.

Make sure you are not using incompatible third party security
software. Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee
or Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

The first step is to find out the exact name of your mail program.
There are three ways to find out.
1) When you start up a program it displays an initial 'splash' screen
which shows the name.
2) While a program is running, the top bar is known as the title bar
and it should contain the name.
3) Click on the program's Help button, select "About..." and it will
show the name as well as the version number.

Mind you if you have some versions of MS Office installed,(Office 2003), it
installs Outlook and that version of Outlook installs a version of Outlook
Express as the mail reader.
