I have been using Windows Live Mail on my Window Vista Premium computer for over a year, but since all the Microsoft Updates were automatically downloaded to my computer on 7/9/13, I can no longer use it.

When I try to open it, the minimized sceen comes up, but my curser will not enable use of the folder slider or open my messages.  If I try to refresh the screen or maximize it, the revolving circle appears but soon stops.

Then I get a pop-up window that jndicates Windows has a problem and will try to resolve it.  Then I get another pop-up that indicates Windows is unable to open at this time.  If I start over I usually get the same result.

I have tried use your recommended link above to download Windows Essentials 2011 to intall Windows Live Mail without the other progams within Essentials, but it will not download.  I need a solution NOW to this Problem!

PLEASE HELP!
