I am able to sign in successfully to my Windows Live e-mail via Outlook on the web....but can's seem to access Windows Live Mail etc through Windows Essentials programs.  I get a message that my e-mail or password is incorrect and is not recognized.  How can I fix this problem?  I would like to use Windows Live Mail to access e-mail on my PC.

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!

Original title: Issues in Windows Live Mail after updates on Vista

I am running windows 7 Premium version 6.1 *Build 7601: Service Pack 1),

and use Windows live as my email tool: Windows Live Mail Version 16.4.3508.0205 *

I have downloaded the latest windows essentials,

I am current on all  Windows updates

 

My PC:

2.40 gigahertz AMD Phenom 9750 Quad-Core

8192 Megabytes Installed Memory

NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT [Display adapter]

ST375063 0AS SCSI Disk Device (750.15 GB)

 

 

I have several hundred contacts, so I have set up categories. 

 

 

I use my Hotmail as my mail email default program, though, I do have other email accounts in Widows Live:

 

I have found that the category tool does not work the same each time I log on. when I add my category to my email TO:  box and hit the "+" sign, I get only a few, the first 8 to 10 names in my category ( my category has 48 names) 

If I reboot, and then I find that it only shows the last 8-10  of 48 names in my category, different than the first time I logged in?

 

When I  check the contact list the category shows all 48 names.

 

I have read thru all the comments in your forum and I do not seem to be alone in this issue.

 

I have also tried your suggestions of uninstalling, and reinstalling the Windows Live tool, as well as using the "repair" process in the uninstall/Change box in Control Panel.

 

I have also found that if I use the Admin, Task manager, and shut down windows live, on occasion, it will resolve the issue, but only for a little while.

 

I use this as a business tool, and am very frustrated, this seems to be getting worse, not better.

 

 

Thanks for any help

I have tried several times to reconfigure my windows live mail to sync with Hotmail with no success. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows essentials with no success. I have rung Microsoft and spoken to 3 different people all of which cannot help me! I was just wondering if anyone on here can please?

My Windows Live Mail categories keep loosing contacts, totally, partialy. Sometimes it has one contact listed sometimes two, sometimes none. This is extraodinary frustrating and time consuming. All my contacts work individually but make a category and watch them arrive and go at random times. Bring back XP professional. Please fix this, this is so so anoying and fundimental. It should not be happening. I have repaired Windows Essentilals.

For Windows 8:

1. Click the Windows button on your keyboard.

2. Type Control Panel and hit Enter.

3. Click Programs.

4. Click Programs and Features.

5. Search for Windows Essentials 2012 on the list and then select it.

6. Click Uninstall/Change.

7. Click Repair all Windows Essentials programs.


I have tried:

In addition, please try to reconfigure your account. This will refresh Windows Live Mail and might also fix the issue. To do this, kindly follow the steps provided by moderator Johayber T. on March 20, 2013 on "How do I add an account to Windows Live Mail"

All a waist of time.

What is going on that Microsoft can't produce something that is , now, so fundimental in the world with out basic problems resulting?

I await your responce

Original title: need windows live mail

 

Where can I download Windows Live Mail? All links seem to lead back to Windows Essentials support page.

Three times now, per instructions from this very helpful group, I have downloaded Windows Essential with end goal being to use outlook.com as my email default. Three times Windows Essentials has not downloaded properly. Two times, W??.dll was missing; error message to download again. This last time, the error message was U??.dll is missing, download again.

 

Additionally, Windows Live Mail will _not_ show in the default choices, nor will Windows Essentials. Neither program is found in Control Panel nor in Revo uninstaller.

 

Is there any hope, anything additional I might do in order to use outlook.com as default email?

 

Win7, 64 bit, Office 2010

 

Thanks so much for any additional help.
