| | Can't open Mail but it's running in the background Frequently I can't open Windows Mail. I discovered that it's still running in the background under Processes but it's not showing in Applications. The only way I can open Mail is the shut down WinMail.exe in processes. Does anyone know if there's a fix for this or is it just one of those glitches that Vista has? This only started happening a few months ago. Thx |

| | Re: Can't open Mail but it's running in the background I have Trend Micro Internet Security, which I've had prior to this problem. I checked into the latest updates and everything seems ok. It's strange that it's only started happening a few months back.

| | Re: Can't open Mail but it's running in the background Coincidentally, quite a few people have reported here that an update by Trend Micro several months ago caused it to become non-compatible with Windows Mail. If you want to find out for sure, uninstall it, reboot, then try Windows Mail again. If no improvement, you can always reinstall Trend Micro. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "N.
