Black Screen in Live Mail Final

I'm interface issues with Live Mail. 1. When I minimize it and restore it
the entire contents of the window frame are black and I have to close WLM
and restart it. 2. When most dialog boxes are supposed to pop up, I get a
window frame with no contents and a transparent center. I can drag the
window and what's underneath will show through. Again, I have to restart
WLM. I've tried repairing it and even uninstalling and reinstalling it.
Sometimes it works fine for a few minutes but then reverts to the screwy
behavior. When I try to switch between Mail and News, it hangs up. I have
Vista Ultimate 64 with 8GB RAM. Outlook 2007 and Windows Mail work fine so
I'm pretty sure the problem is WLM. I tried getting to Microsoft's
Knowledge Base but IE can't find the page. "The Requested Web Page is Not
Available." Can anyone help?

TIA

I've no idea whether this will help, but some people with UI problems in the
early betas found that it helped:
Close down WLMail
Start > Run > regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail
In the right hand pane, look for a value called Tree.
If it exists, double click on it and set it to 1
If it doesn't exist , select Edit > New > DWORD value
Rename it Tree
Double click on it and set its data to 1
Close regedit
Restart WLMail and see if this has helped
Come back here and tell us.
Happy Christmas!

news:%23IhikepRIHA.5360@xxxxxx Thanks for the suggestion! I tried it and, for a few minutes anyway,
it looked good. The blank dialog boxes came back, though, and then I got an
out
of memory message. Could it be a memory leak? A conflict with the video
driver?

Again, thanks for the good try and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

my wife's account for a while. It ran perfectly. That told me that there
was
a problem with my account info. I deleted WLM and all my account info and
registry info and reinstalled it. It now seems to be running OK again.
Thanks to all who offered suggestions!
