Sorry to post in this group, but I can't solve this any other way.
My email is coming to my new address, but I can't seem to find how
to change my email in the log in procedure. I have to use my old
email address to log in. Do I have to re-register or is there a
way to change it?

You forgot to tell us what email program you use or if you use webmail
to read your messages. Repost with a more clear explanation of what
you're doing and you're end goal and include the missing details.

I use Eudora to send and receive, but I don't see how that relates to the
problem. All I am trying to do is change my email address in the forum so
that I can log in with it instead of using the old email address.


Oh, and now you're asking about logging into a forum rather than how to actually log into an e-mail account? What forum are you talking about? This "forum". This is a newsgroup in Usenet despite Microsoft providing a webnews-for-dummies gateway to it. If you have to register to use that forum or webnews-for-dummies gateway then that is what you have to use to login to continue using that old "forum" account. It has nothing to do with your actual e-mail accounts (beyond perhaps the initial registration confirmation e-mail sent to you to complete the registration process). It is just a string of characters. You can either continue logging into the "forum" under that old e-mail string or you can delete or abandon that old account and create a new one using your new e-mail address.

So is it Microsoft CDO (their "community" webnews-for-dummies gateway) with which you are having problems? When you click the SignIn button, is it refusing to let you login under your new e-mail address? If it is not an MSN or Hotmail e-mail address, did you register your non-Microsoft e-mail address with Passport (aka Windows Live ID)? I suspect the signup procedure for creating a new Windows Live ID account will have a confirmation e-mail sent to the e-mail address that you specified when creating that account, so you will have to click the link in that confirmation e-mail when you receive it to complete the registration for a Windows Live ID account.
