John,

Using windows 10 I just installed the game from the original disk and updated with the latest patch which was on the Blitz site as I recall . Games work fine except for a few small things one of which is when units are moving they can be herky jerky at times. Of course I still hate windows 10 and would go back to 7 in a minute if I could. :-)

I don't use it, but I suspect if you right click on an email there will be options.

John,
I had to go directly to my email servers and run their programs. I have 2 programs one thru the cable company and one thru google. I tried using the windows 10 thing but it ended up being a horro show. Main problem was with passwords as it insisted it be changed every few weeks or so and eventually wouldn't accept any passwords I tried to use even after I updated them. It will also make all downloaded files as read only and you can't delete them without changing the read only check box for each file.

Hopefully things will work better for you than they did for me. It was nice having all the emails in one place but, it was a bit frustrating to not be able to access them :-)

I love that first review.  Big Grin

Microsoft edge is their new browser. Internet Explorer is being phased out. Chrome is better, IMO.

Google is my browser Outlook set up but have my own isp mail set up as well which is what im using.With outlook express you could right click and have that e-mail address added to your address book then modify it ie [email protected] then put in peter as that address so when you wanted to sent mail just type peter and it went there this is what im really looking for not saying im going to get it.Bill Gates can shove some bits and bytes and a few cd's where the sun dont shine for me me.
