I type in windows live mail and I'm prompted to go to windows essentials. I download windows essentials and it's not working as well. My movie maker has disappeared, and I have no live mail or contacks.

When I try to install Windows Live Essentials 2011 or 2012 on my Windows 7 Pro SP1 pc, I get the choice window which asks "What do you want to install?" - but there are NO choices - only the statement "by clicking an installation option...".  What is wrong, I've tried every screen resolution and I still can't see either of the 2 choices I'm supposed to have.  I meet all the system requirements.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

 

Previous title - Windows Live Essentials installation issue

I am having real problems with windows live mail on my laptop.  It seems to be affecting my iphone and ipad also.  I can recieve messages (emails) but when I go to forward, I get the "windows live mail stopped working msg" and restart.  When I try to compose a new message, it shows the same msg but with a debug option.  I have removed windows essentials and reinstalled twice to no avail.  My Ipad and Iphone are also having issues?  On the email topic below, it should say only sending mail.  I receive mail OK.

 

 HELP!!!


UPDATE!

For some reason, the error msgs went away, and I can now compose and forward emails in windows live?  Only problem is that even though the emails are in the sent folder, the receiver doesn't get them??  What a mess!  Any ideas from anyone??

I dont' like how my Windows Live Mail opens automatically without me signing in and  i prefeer to go back to using my Hotmail and servers email accounts separately rather than merging.

How can I Uninstall just the Windows Live Mail part from Windows Essentials - XP home. 

Instrustions and links only show how to delete it on Windows8 & or Windows7*/Vista .

I do not want to lose my Howmail Or Messenger.

 

Any one can help.

 If you ctrl alt delete and close from task manager it will open again.  This happends three of four times a day.

 

Win 7  

Windows Essentials  2011. I have installed Windows Essentials 2012

 I have repaired and deleted and reinstalled. No Joy

I think the Mail in Windows 8 is very poor so I downloaded Windows Essentials to use Windows Live Mail.

The problem I am having is that when I attach photos to an email it automatically uses SkyDrive.

I cannot find how to change this, is it possible? The Windows 8 mail uses SkyDrive as an option.

I do not really want to use Windows 8 mail for messages with attachments and Live Mail for those without.

 

When downloading Windows Essentials 2012 I get an error message which I cannot find in the list of usual errors. The error number is Ox80040609.
An unknown Error Occured
Error : 0x80040705
source : dotNet40

this is the Message i got after trying to Install WINDOWS ESSENTIALS on my WINDOWS 7(32 bit) dell computer
Anyone out there with any idea about how to fix it.???
Help would be appreciated
