Hi, Sandra:
Check out this website if you have questions or issues with JAWS and Windows
versions.

http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
You can subscribe to the list as well.  Also, if you want Outlook Express
for your Win 7 machine, there is a website that offers Outlook Express 6. 
It works really well with Windows 7, 8, and 10.
The website is:

www.whitestick.co.uk

Then you look for the downloads link and install the program.
If none of the links above work, just copy them into your web browser.  Hope
this helps.

Vince
