Why am I having such of a hard time trying to install Essentials Live to use the mail that I always used.....Why is it that someone in their so called great wisdom decides to "improve" the software......it was WORKING GREAT.........why the need for OUTLOOK to take over the mail service.   I did a fresh install of Windows 7, did all the upgrades, tried to install Essentials Live 2012, but after it downloaded and tried to install, I get an error code, basically saying that I need to make sure that the FIRWALL in ON.......hmmmmm FIREWALL was ON.... so the software could not detect that the firewall was on.........so, really nobody knows what the @#$%^&*@#$ is going on....WHY is MICROSOFT forcing us to use OUTLOOK..... is it easier for OTHERS to look at our mail? WHEN something works, WHY would you want to #$@% with it??????
