Re: Windows Live Mail Won't Open

Windows Live Mail has its own newsgroup, to which I will
cross-post this reply.

A WLM expert will be responding in that newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop
via your news reader; or via a browser:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...e.mail.desktop

Re: Windows Live Mail Won't Open

Completely Remove WLM. Reinstall all Windows Updates(none have been for WLM).
If WLM was installed, the Msi file is on your machine. No need to download again.

I don't use a cleaning program, thus can't offer any advice..imo most are snake oil.
