    You can keep using the XP but Microsoft has said no more updates which may leave you with a security risk.

    I am having trouble with Yahoo mail also and am leary of what tbey are doing over there.

    The reason I asked about version is that different versions of Microsoft software can have strange peculiarities. Even for the 2002 version there are several variants. If you need aid in checking version see this URL. Also you may be able to get a manual downloaded.

    How to determine Outlook version information

    I should ask for tbe magical gnomes help because I am having trouble loading an aliaz address into Outlook.com email on my Toshiba 8" windows tablet. First problem is the reference email account uses POP and the second may be that it is used for another Microsoft account I got long ago. And possibly thefe is a forbidden character in the password.
    The internet is filled with yahoo calendar complaints right now. The only fix I've come up with is to open your yahoo mail page and save that page to your tablet desktop. You can access the yahoo calendar that way, at least on the playbk and then I get the appts to remind me a day before to my email. Its close to impossible to edit or enter this way from the PB. For that I had to download the tablet version of that calendar., which is the lamest calendar ever:
    1) it opens on the day you loaded it, not on today - you have to press today to get today.
    2) its in line form, no full month page
    3) you have to jump back & forth from tablet cal to email cal to get any extra details entered.

    My old microsoft outlook I got with the PC around 2004. Its windows XP (of course, cause every person had it - which is why their dumping it and forcing people to get the new one = more money).
    But apparently, we can keep the XP? I've been ignoring posts on it cause I don't use the PC - I do almost everything from the playbooks.
    So it should be simple. SOM created an outlook account for me - I don't know how, but he is magic. I also had an extra outlook that Rogers set up years ago, but it didn't have the calendar my old outlook had (unknown to me until recently). So a couple of weeks ago, I got Rogers to transfer everything to the old microsoft outlook. Now I have a calendar on the PC.
    BTW: None of this was necessary when the yahoo calendar worked with the Playbook, but now all sorts of Blackberry users are complaining.
    I'm just trying to get a calendar that will talk to my playbook calendar, or at least download onto it.
    This should be easy - apparently its not.
    Such is the life of a non parametric user
    Please do some testing so that we can tell where the process is broken.
    1. Create an appt on your PC Outlook.
    2. Connect to the internet with your PC.
    3. Click the "send and receive" in Outlook on the PC.
    4. Open a browser and type outlook.com in the address bar.
    5. Sign in with your credentials.
    6. In the upper left corner, where the Outlook.com is, there is a down pointed arrow head. Click that. Then click the calendar box.
    7. Did it show up there? Yes or No? If No, check out this:
    Sync calendar and contacts using Outlook.com - Slipstick Systems
    8. Open Yahoo calendar. Did it show up there? Yes or No? If No, check out this to sync the calendar part:
    How to Sync Yahoo Contacts and Calendar With MS Outlook
    9. On the PB, swipe down to see the app toolbar. Make sure outlook calendar is checked. Do a refresh. Did it show up there? Yes or No?
