Is there something I can do to fix this?

Thanks,
Alice

Sounds like something has gotten corrupted in your registry.
Best and easiest way to fix this would be to un-install and re-install WLM.
You're message stores will survive so it's a fairly painless option.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for your reply. I already uninstalled and reinstalled WLM but it
didn't help the problem. What I think is strange is that WLM starts up fine
but it only has the problem when I click on compose!!!

Anything else I can try?

Thanks for your time,
Alice
