I have windows 7. I am getting a popup on outlook express that tells me I am not allowed to "FORWARD" anything unless I upgrade Word. I have word 2010. Has anybody had this problem before. Help!

How did you get that on 7?
One odd idea is to configure OE to not use Word. Here's how.
"Select Tools | Options from the menu in Outlook.
Click on the Mail Format tab.
Make sure the Use Microsoft Office Word to edit e-mail messages checkbox is NOT selected."
Hi R. Proffit,
Thank you so much for your kind reply. As it turned out, my friend was using a SP that originated in Fairpoint, Maine (I live in Florida - he and his wife are snowbirds 
. Somehow, when he first got the service, the original technician up there messed up the settings and his e-mail was "Bouncing" off of of Outlook. So, I called the SP and found out that he had to establish an e-mail account through them, which we did. Upon bringing up the new account, Everything from the Outlook account had been transferred and he was able to forward e-mails and was happy. No More OUTLOOK! Just an original technician that set up his system and didn't have a clue as to what he was doing . Very strange though!
Anyway, I did want to take the time to Thank You for your advice. I'm sure had I gone in that direction it would have worked also. Have A Great Day, R.
