When I'm searching different web site, I try to respond (web site email contact us) and when I do, outlook pops up. I've tried to make hotmail the default email for windows 7, but all of the work arounds don't seem to want to work or they give me the "this works only in Vista" mesages. I tried setting Outlook as the default with outlool connector and all of the hotmail email addresses error out. I'm stuck in a loop. Can anyone help me PLEASE.

Manually configure the hotmail account in Outlook account settings. Confirm that you have the most recent version of Outlook Connector. It helps to provide more detail about the version of Office and Windows that you are using.

thank you
