Windows Mail can’t be opened.

Windows mail was opening every five seconds.
I disabled it and now am getting this message. It will open 25 windows in a row.
"Windows Mail can’t be opened.
A software restriction policy is preventing Windows Mail from opening."
I never use Windows mail would like to make it hibernate.

Re: Windows Mail can’t be opened.

You must be doing something to cause Windows Mail to run.
Make sure your preferred email service has all the email
default protocols assigned to it. If you need help with that,
what is your preferred email service?

Re: Windows Mail can’t be opened.

IN a previous forum you directed me to making gmail my default program but that was problematic also. Is it possible to uninstall or delete vista email? I don't/won't use it.

No, that's not possible. Windows Mail is an integral part of the
Vista operating system.

What problem did you have with making Gmail webmail your default
email program? Have you asked Google tech support for advice?
