If I uninstall Windows Live Essentials will I lose ability to use Hotmail?
For the last month or so my firewall (Zone Alarm) has been
busy asking permission to permit numerous questionable programs to connect with my computer. The programs seem to be part of Windows Live Essentials and Windows Security Essentials. I have XP(MCE), to which Microsoft evidently installed the two 'Essential' programs listed above. I believe that MS may have tied these programs to my Hotmail account. I want to uninstall the two 'Essential' programs because, imho, they are a pain in the butt. My question: Will I lose my Hotmail account, and if so, will I be able to reopen the Hotmail account? I don't have any important files saved with Hotmail nor with Windows Live, so I assume I could reopen the Hotmail account using my old email address and password. Thank you for your advice. -- Jack from Taxacola (formerly Pensacola), FL dele XXX |

Sounds like both are fighting each other. I personally would choose
Essentials, have run za in the past, but Essentials is "set it and forget it". Make a backup copy of your system first and delete Ess if it destroys hotmail then revert, but it should not.
