[WT-support] Fw: WIN 7 Professional 64 Bit computer: Accessing Windows Live Mail for contest software and emails

[Bob Shohet, KQ2M]

I recently purchased 2 WIN 7 Professional 64 Bit computers from New Egg.
I wanted to download the Win-test software on both and I realized that I needed to set
up my email on both.  On my other WIN 7 computers I use Windows Live Mail.

When I did a search for “Mail” I saw the Windows Live Mail folder and clicked
on it.  Instead of Windows Live Mail appearing, I instead saw an “OUTLOOK”
sign in page.  On my other Win 7 computers this does not occur – Windows Live Mail
comes up, as it should.

I have no desire to create a Microsoft account much less to have to log in 
each time I want to access email.

Can any of the “gurus” on this reflector please tell me how I can access
Windows Live Mail and/or obtain and install it so that I can set up my email
and utilize it without Outlook or having to sign in?   

Also, there is no MS Excel on these computers.  Does anyone know where I can 
obtain a reasonably priced copy (free is best of course) so that I can access
other .xls or .xlsx files through my homegroup?  I need this for logging since
I use an .xls file for my qso and other qso and qsl related information.

Thanks.

73 and Happy Holidays!
