Windows Live Problem

HP Recovery Program should be able to be uninstalled in Programs & Features.

ok i got a program that makes windos live the default instead of windows mail. at first it seemed solved.Its not; what keeps happening(usualy when im gaming or watching a movie online) is for some reason windows launches teh exe comnd dozens of times really fast if i continiously close the program.

as for the screens.. i hip print screen but it doesnt seem to save the images.

Fooster,

Is all instances of Windows Live Mail or Windows Mail closed when this happens?

yes
and as i said before if it is already open it will launch 20 more copies of it in a new tab
so i get 30 tabs across the screen

Fooster,

When you format the drive and reinstall Vista, are you a recovery DVD or the recovery partition to reinstall Vista? It sounds like the probelm is just being reinstalled.

I must admit that I'm stumped on this one. See if you can narrow it down to a particular program or action that you are doing, then uninstall the program to see if it comes back.

it when i formatt it coems from a recovery partition which i deleted cut it keeps 5 megs that has the core programs inwitch it can rebuild itself. i do not use a cd. and when i find the program in the regestry, it will only let me delete non essential programs and wont alow me to delete windows mail. i cant rename it or change the exe comand it either sayd i need permission or just simply changes it back automaticaly. i dont understand all of how windows works but i do know that some programs that are absolutley essentioan to windows are on a chip that is in the motherboard. i can not log on as an admin and change this program either. i contacted HP and they told me that they cant give me the permission needed to delet windows mail as it is imbedded in teh chip itself.
when i formatted... i had not even connected to the internet.. i physicaly unplugged and booted in safe mode (as safe mode alows me to do things with windows that are otherwise not available) and the windows mail inbox still pops up. its not the mail program itself i dont theink.. its something in windows telling it to open it over and over and over. weather im onlinne or in safe mode.
i even shut down all teh remote acess thinking someone may inadvertantly be triggering it soemhow.but that is also not hte case. computers dont do nothing they are not told to do... so im sure the problem is in how the factory told windows to function.
but as i said HP cant help me( i dont think they have a clue wtf they did i was probly talkin to some 15 yr old kid for all i know that had no clue)Either way.. something is telling windows to behave like this with the mail program.itis worst when im playing an online game OR watching a movie. it does not act up when i am playind solitare or some other game that comes wit windows. but if i play AoM or Guild Wars, or WoW, it starts up after about 30 minutes of online play it lags me rght up.
it also does it if i am watching a movie that streams off the internet. I thought maybe it was the games at first, but it is bahaving non discrimanatley. it only seems t calm down if i stay within the confines of windows programs that come with windows from the factory, and even then it opens but it doesnt exe 2 0 times really fast over and over.

Hello.

I *may* be able to offer some advise here. Did you, by any chance or maybe by default, have your e-mail program (Windows Mail) set to check for e-mails automatically after every so many minutes, or as soon as an internet connection is available? If so, it may pop up for every mail that is in your inbox......

Or, alternatively, you might have caught a virus which uses this software to try and send itself out to others (happened on one of the office machines i was working with, it would open Outlook Express "send mail" windows faster than one was able to close them).

If "it" happens, hit "Alt + Ctrl + Del" and start the task manager. Look at the "processes" tab - for each instance/window that opens, one process must be started. Try to eliminate them from there by right-clicking them and "end process". See if it starts again.

I hope i was able to help you....

Kind regards.....

your Thanh

ok welll i have it set to not notify me at all. as i said before, its something in wondows telling it to execute over and over.. the worse it gets and thinks its being attacked. and launches even in safe mode. exe. over and over and over. i can t change the exe comand, as it reverts itself.. not from the recovery dis.. it simply wont ascknowlage the changed exe comad in the first place, and keeps its origonal comand line. it wont let me have permission to delete it from the regestry even in safe mode.

this behavior is on a freshly formatted hard drive so unless there is a virus in the bios itself that norton cant detect, its not a virus. there si something telling windows to behav4 like this by default. remeber on page 1 of this... when i formatted, i physicaly unplugged the internet and tried to deall with this porblem when windows booted for the first time. i tried all kinds of stuff. both in safe mode and normal mode.

*note--- the windows mail program oens itself like this weatrher there are emails coming in or not. when i open it up there are never any emails... as i use hotmail not windows mail.

No alert sounds for windows live messenger

i cant hear anything when somebody calls me or give me a nudge

it used to be working but i just noticed that after i transfer an mp3 file to my friend, my alerts were not working anymore

plus im trying to unblock some of my wma files but in the properties menu it doesn't have the Unblock button
