When you try to configure Windows Mail to use an Web-based e-mail account on a computer that is running Windows Vista, you experience one of the following symptoms:

• When you try to add a Hotmail account or an MSN account to Windows Mail, you receive the following message:
  

  Information About HTTP E-mail

  Windows Mail no longer supports the HTTP servers used by Hotmail and other web-based e-mail providers. Click the Back button to set up a different e-mail account, or see other options for accessing your web-based e-mail.

• When you try to use a Windows Live e-mail account or a different Web-based e-mail account in Windows Mail, you cannot send or receive e-mail messages.

After you upgrade from Microsoft Windows XP to Windows Vista, you cannot play any of the following games in Windows Vista after you double-click the program file:

• Internet Backgammon
• Internet Checkers
• Internet Hearts
• Internet Reversi
• Internet Spades

For example, if you locate the %SystemRoot%:\Program Files\MSN Gaming Zone\Windows folder, and then double-click one of the following program files, the game cannot connect to the MSN Gaming Zone server:

• Bckgzm.exe
• Chkrzm.exe
• Hrtzzm.exe
• Rvsezm.exe
• Shvlzm.exe
• ZClientm.exe

Note: These program files are present in Windows Vista if you upgraded the computer from Windows XP to Windows Vista.
