| | Error Msg trying to send internet email Hi, When I try to send an email via internet...like a website support or cust serv email, I immediately receive the error message: Could not perform this operation because the default email client is not properly installed. In Internet Explorer, in Set your Default Programs, Windows Live Mail Desktop is not in the list, so I cannot select it. Why isn't it there? In Set Program Access and Computer Defaults, the Email program is Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail Desktop is listed next to Enable Access under the Microsoft Windows tab. Under the Custom tab, Use my current email program is selected and Windows Live Mail Desktop has a check mark next to Enable Access to this Program. I hope someone has an answer for me because this is so annoying!! I have googled this message and have not come up with any answers that involve my particular situation. Thanks in advance ! -- ~Eileen~ |

| | Re: Error Msg trying to send internet email Hi Michael, I have done what you suggested many many times, but it always goes back to "Use My Current Email Program" and WLM is Enable Access to this Program. I can't understand why WLM is not checked as the default program. Do you have any other ideas? I would really appreciate if you could figure this out!!!

| | Re: Error Msg trying to send internet email Hi Eileen. The problem is that you are still using Windows Live Mail desktop 8.0.1226 Beta, which became redundant a long time ago. Upgrading to Windows Live Mail 12.0.1606 will solve your problem, as this was a bug in previous versions. Note that here is no more 'Desktop' in the name of this program, and it is no longer in beta. Now you are wondering why you did not know about the update, and why was it not automatically updated through Microsoft Update. The earlier Beta versions were not updated automatically, however the recent versions have been, so once you install the current version, you should be advised of any new versions available through Microsoft Update. The WLMail team blog at http://morethanmail.spaces.live.com/default.aspx also keeps us informed about updates. -- Cheers, Peter (Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with Windows Live Mail 12.0.1606) "There are more things in Heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." - Shakespeare --------------- "Eileen" <empayne@xxxxxx> wrote in message news  A9298CF-E521-411C-B86D-8F1A0F042606@xxxxxxQuote: > Hi Michael, > > I have done what you suggested many many times, but it always goes back to > "Use My Current Email Program" and WLM is Enable Access to this Program.

| | Re: Error Msg trying to send internet email Sorry, I forgot to give you the download location for the latest version of Windows Live Mail. http://get.live.com/WL/config_all The download is currently an installer for the Windows Live suite of programs. You select what you want to install, and when you run the installer it will download those programs and install them. I recommend that you completely uninstall the old beta before installing Windows Live Mail, as the registry and the Message Store is arranged differently now. Please see this blog entry for a detailed explanation of how to do a complete uninstall: http://liveunplugged.spaces.live.com...90CA!226.entry -- Cheers, Peter (Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with Windows Live Mail 12.0.1606) "There are more things in Heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." - Shakespeare --------------- "Peter.R" <Peter.R@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E27DBE00-0881-43C1-83E7-F647B78F85C8@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi Eileen. > > The problem is that you are still using Windows Live Mail desktop 8.0.1226 Beta, which became redundant a long time ago. > > Upgrading to Windows Live Mail 12.0.1606 will solve your problem, as this was a bug in previous versions. > Note that here is no more 'Desktop' in the name of this program, and it is no longer in beta. > > Now you are wondering why you did not know about the update, and why was it not automatically updated through Microsoft Update. > > The earlier Beta versions were not updated automatically, however the recent versions have been, so once you install the current version, you should be advised of any new versions available through Microsoft Update. > > The WLMail team blog at http://morethanmail.spaces.live.com/default.aspx also keeps us informed about updates. > > -- > Cheers, > Peter > (Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with Windows Live Mail 12.0.1606) > "There are more things in Heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." - Shakespeare > --------------- > > "Eileen" <empayne@xxxxxx> wrote in message news A9298CF-E521-411C-B86D-8F1A0F042606@xxxxxx> Quote: >> Hi Michael, >> >> I have done what you suggested many many times, but it always goes back to >> "Use My Current Email Program" and WLM is Enable Access to this Program.

That you went selection process is sufficient if that were the issue. I hadn't noticed that you are using a beta version of WLM.

| | Re: Error Msg trying to send internet email Well, Peter, this is a fine state of affairs ! It really wasn't that long ago that I downloaded WLM Beta. Unfortunately, I forgot where. The reason I decided to go with WLM is because Outlook 2007 was driving me crazy....it was always doing something to slow my computer down. I couldn't understand why in the heck it couldn't just sit there...anyway, I let it go and went with WLM. I can't thank you enough for figuring out my problem !

| | Re: Error Msg trying to send internet email Really?! That must have been a bug in WLMail Desktop. If you have a Windows Live ID and have been using that to sign into Windows Live through WLMail Desktop, then the contacts you use when you are signed in will again be synchronised with that Windows Live ID (downloaded to WLMail) when you sign into WLMail. So they will be available when you use that ID to sign into Windows Live through WLMail. Otherwise, go to your old WLMail Desktop Message Store, which you will rename as part of the complete uninstall/reinstall, and make a copy of the 'Contacts' folder to somewhere else for safe keeping. In that folder, you will find contacts filed separately in a hidden folder called 'Default'. If you have signed into WLMail Desktop with a Windows Live ID, you will also see a folder named the same as that ID, and within it your contact files. Once you install WLMail, you can double click on each contact file to open it and access the information in it to reproduce that contact in WLMail. -- Cheers, Peter (Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with Windows Live Mail 12.0.1606) "There are more things in Heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." - Shakespeare --------------- "Eileen" <empayne@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:933A3F07-C964-407B-97B9-65DD27E99CA5@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi Peter, > > Well, wish me luck, the following does not look easy ....by the way, for my > Contacts, the EXPORT feature is missing from the File menu.
