| | Re: Installation rolls bck Ok almost all is well after performing all of those manual little installs. But! Whenever I try to start Windows Live Mail, I get the following error message: "Windows Live Mail could not be started. It may not be installed correctly. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory." I have tried uninstall/reinstall, repair, uninstall and folder delete/reinstall to no avail. I have 330 GB of free space left and 4 GB of ram running at 5% capacity. I'm about to switch to Mozilla Thunderbird this is so frustrating. By the way Jonathon, thank you for your help thus far. |

| | Re: Installation rolls bck Thanks Jonathan, that's seems to have gotten me up and running after problems with the Windows Live installer... 0x80004004 error - Microsoft Visual Runtime aborted, and Windows Live Call not being able to write a value key in my registry. Any ideas on those?

| | Re: Installation rolls bck Greetings Ashley, If Messenger is running, then you didn't need the Visual Studio Runtime files and Windows Live Call is practically useless (and in some cases, a nuisance), so you're really good to go.
