Re: windows mail won't open

First, make sure none of those pictures are open in another program.

Secondly, your Avast antivirus was probably installed with its default
install option. If so, uninstall it, then reinstall, but select 'custom' install,
which then allows you to unselect installing its troublesome email
scanning module. Disabling the email scanning once it is installed
does not work.
