Hello all,

I have installed windows 7 in one of my machines and installed the live software recommended to replace outlook and sync my phone and PDA and I am having the following problem:

I can sync the "my documents" folder but the darn thing tells me that outlook is not installed and that I have to create an association in the "default programs" because there is not mail program installed.

Can some one help me with the steps to do the correct association? I had tryeda couple of time to follow the short instruccions from the help menu but I have fail!

Thank you for any help I can get
