Re: User Account Controls

I've also noticed that the only way I can access Windows Mail right now is
with the user account controls off. In order to save my Mail accounts, email
boxes and saved emails, I restored the Mail folder from a backup file,
writing over the installed files in my newly reinstalled Vista. I now get
messages that Windows Mail cannot be started because it is currently being
used by another program, and another messages that MSOE.DLL could not be
initialized, however when user accounts controls are turned off, I can access
the program. Any suggestions on this? Thanks.
