Ardvark,
Thank you for the phone number. I will try to find out my options there.
YoKenny,
I do have my contacts and email saved on an external hard drive, and other computers, so I wouldn't lose them if I had problems. I also have contacts exported to my USB pen drive. I have used the ehow.com site many times for directions. It is a great site.
I have not had problems with Vista, so don't feel that urgency to install Windows 7. I usually wait until at least one SP is released before using a new OS, and am thinking of doing that with Windows 7. Maybe Microsoft will have made things easier by then.
Thanks again for your help.
