I tried doing that and it seemed as if I changed the file name to wlscontact.csv . But when I go to OE-Tools-Address-import, I never can find the file name in my documents, my desktop or any other place I saved it. I do feel silly as it seems to be an easy process. Funny thing is if I try to import an address book from a yahoo account to msn/hotmail account it is simple. I do understand that OE can only import a .csv file. Now if I can properly change the file to a .csv file, save it properly and THEN actually find it, I may be in business. But until then I will have to add an address as I get mail from then. Sorry for rambling but I'm just frustrated a bit.

I've tried both ways with no luck. It's easy to import other address books into msn/hotmail account but just can't export. When I go to my live page, it never looks like your example #2. I can access in Options- more options-export contacts. I do get the wls file to save but can never find it again?? When I am in OE and click on import, I can NEVER FIND the files I have saved! I've been spending hours on this and am frustrated to where I may just print out the xls address and manually import the important addresses. (Lame I know) Sorry I am thick- headed but just can't seem to make it work for me.

BINGO, it worked! After re-doing it again and making sure I had everything set up properly, I noticed a bunch of different "weird" unused accounts in account settings. I removed unused ones and only kept the pop3.live.com one, set it as default. I went to tools- clicked SEND and RECEIVE ALL and it worked! I tested sending and receiving e-mails to another account with no problem. Thank you so much for everyone's help. Now if I can only figure out how to import my addresses and folders from my msn (rather my live.com) account to OE???

I followed all the steps last night with no success. Here are the error messages: The connection to the server has failed.

I am running Windows XP home and have Outlook Express 6. Is there any way possible to use OE to access my free msn.com account or has that been gone for a long time now? I think I read that it did a long time ago but wondered if anything changed. My main e-mail account has been a free msn.com account. I really like using OE as my talking speech software hates all the advertising on msn. I suppose the free account depends on the advertising on msn to be able to provide the free account? Just my guess but wondered if there is any way around it? I have a secondary email that my ISP provided and have used with OE but I prefer my msn.com account. It just seems to be a waste of OE on an email I just don't use. Thanks

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what you meant by: "With Avira you will have to manually download virus definition files unlike Eset's NOD 32 Security Suite which will download them automatically." I know I scheduled Avira to scan for viruses daly and to check for updates daily. Could anyone explain how to manually download virus definitions with Avira Free? I do love the ease of a paid Security Suite such as ESET's NOD 32 but just hate spending the $ so I can manually do whatever I have to do. BTW, the kids mainly use i tunes, runescape and Wizards 101 but I still have to be careful to monitor their sites. A few years back I USED to use Peer to peer file sharing sites for music (Limewire) but haven't for years nor will I ever again. Last question for my Outpost Firewall , do I have to do anything special for it and does it update automatically or do I simply update manually? It seems as everyone here has a great sense of humor and even us blind people, and hopefully blondes, get the humor too

Hello, I've been researching Freeware AV, Firewall and AntiSpyware/Malware programs for a while. I just ran out of a free trial of Windows Live One Care and although it was not bad it costs $50 per year! Also, on my other pc I tried a Internet Security Suite by CA which is free from my cable company (BrightHouse) but didn't feel safe with it. Its scans were only seconds long and many reviews were not favorable either. So today I installed a bunch of new freeware programs on both my kids' and my own pc and need advice on how often to run these scans. Anti Virus = Avira Antivir Personal Free Firewall = Agnitum Outpost Free Anti Spyware/Malware= Ad Aware AE (been using), Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware Free, and Spyware Blaster I only have one AV and one firewall running. I know I should use multiple spyware programs but is this too many? I'd really apprecialte any advice on how to set up schedule for the AV and Firewall and how often to run all the scans. Is Spyware Blaster a scanner or more like a "guard" of my computer? Also, if I've missed anything or mad bad choices I'd love to hear. Thank you so much in advance as I've been lurking around heare for a little while and decided to become active. Joey Legally Blind Egghead P.S.
