I have just upgraded my laptop from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.  Not impressed, as no longer does Windows Live Mail function. The opening dialogue box sits on the screen with the busy icon whizzing round. And there it stayed for 1 1/2 hours.  I uninstalled Windows Live Mail, then re installed it. But to no avail.  Also the boot up time has doubled, oh how I wish I had I had not moved to Windows 8.1.  Microsoft please help me to get Windows Live Mail working.

Thank you
