I recently updated the Microsoft Essentials to the 2012 and have had nothing but problems with the Windows Live email program.

When in a document, whether it be a PDF or a Word Doc - I am unable to send directly from the document.  I also, cannot drag and drop a document into a new email.  My email notification icon has disappeared and I am beyond frustrated....

I have uninstalled the latest update as well as confirmed that Windows Live is my default email - 

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

thank you!
