    This group is for Windows Live Mail.
    You have to post in the Vista Mail newsgroup.

    Restart your computer Jak. This usually works for me.

    JakDG, poor bugger, probably did what I did, and uninstalled IE8 beta, because the damned thing created merry-hell with Windows Live Mail and Photo Gallery. So until the Esteemed Deity Geeks Society [eDogs] get it right for once.....IE7 rules.

    Listen chaps and chapesses with superior know-how and extra-functional neuron masses, please don't be so terse when addressing problems or questions posed by us Newbies. Yes, some of the questions may appear idiotic, but to the submitter, there is also the element of fear in facing the unknown.

    It is all a matter of gaining confidence, that helps in the learning process. Take a leaf out of Brink's maxim [look for it] and you will understand. At some point of your own learning process, you were once considered an idiot, and to deny that means that you have retained that status.

    Some of us have taken the challenge very late in life [to a 15yr old], and these Forums are the only source of valuable Tutorials, advice and tips. The main point of all of this? Don't ever treat anyone who still shows a willingness to continue learning, disrespect or distain. Never lose sight of the fact that you don't know it all, but at your finger-tips you have access to as much as you want to know.

    Live, and let learn.

    Actually I still have IE8

    Just go into Task Manager and end the one that says "winmail.32" And click End Task!

    Sorry Old Chap,

    But the honest truth is that I have neither the expertise or confidence to even look at Task Manager, let alone actually fiddle about in the space. Unfortunately, it is also a fact that I cannot make rhyme nor reason of your answer......it's these bothersome reducing brain cells, you know. Toodle-pip.

    Windows Mail is winmail.exe not winmail.32

    Task Manager access = simultaneously press and hold Control Shift Esc
    Click on Processes
    Click on Winmail.exe
    Click on End Process
