Windows XP SP 3 Dell inspiron 530 desxtop Internet Explorer 8. Hot mail Plus with Live sign in and remember windows xp so dont send a link for windows 7 as moderaters have done in past.

I want to extract emails and save them on alternate drive. Nothing I do helps and the MS links are not germane to my screen images. Not being sour but I am given an answer to refer to link and proceed from start button and nothing looks like my system. I cant understand why this is so hard. Dont even tell me to start a new email account because thats just not working. There has to be someone who has a similar need so lets earn those points and give it a little thought becase numerous answers of the same advice have been ineffective. If there is no way to do it , as I think, just say so.
