If you are dual-booting Vista and XP, be aware that each time
you boot into XP it destroys Vista's system restore data:

Look in Control Panel (Classic View), Programs and Features.

What do you want to uninstall? Some Windows apps can't be uninstalled.

Thanks Gary - Here's part of the link:
“Another option, which is simpler if you don’t want to go
down the Bitlocker Encryption route is to boot into Windows XP and,
using a freeware utility called TweakUi hide the Windows Vista partition
from Windows XP. Because XP cannot see the Windows Vista partition it
cannot remove the system restore points.

The end result of both these workarounds is that you can move from
Windows Vista to Windows XP and back again without losing the precious
System restore points.”

I'm not too worried about losing Vista - my next cause is to remove it
completely and recover the 140Gs of space tied up on the C Drive.

Those who have tried the TweakUi workaround say that it
doesn't work. I realize you don't care since you are removing
Vista, but others who are thinking of dual-booting (perhaps
so they can continue to use OE) need to know this.

Hockeynut: I have been using Windows Live Mail because Windows Mail sucks
bigger than Outlook Express. Unfortunately, I get the same error message in
my Windows Live Mail that is is "unable to choose recipients". It seems the
new message crosses from Windows Live Masil to Windows Mail because the error
message pop-up says Windows Mail at the top.
We should not be surprised that MS puts out software under continual beta
testing and only applies fixes when the paying public screams loud enough.
To Gary: Why don't you tell us how toi fix this garbage rather than moaning
about short-term fixes. If we cannot use our Windows bundled email then it
may be time to go back to court to straighten this mess out again.

If your version of Windows Live Mail is a beta test version, you don't have
the latest version.
