In windows live mail 2011 when I click on the email message icon a window opens saying a problem has occured please try again. I cannot even compose a message.
I got frustrated and went to uninstall Windows Live Essentials 2011 version and was given an option to choose specific components or to repair it. I chose repair and all my dreams came true. I am glad I did not spend money on tech support.
sounds like the same problem as I am having bribri. Straight after updating to live essential 2011 I cannot open/read any e-mail messageS (sent, received or otherwise!). A box appears with the message you received "saying a problem has occured please try again". Using system restore to before update broyght things back to normal. Will try your suggeswtion but I am alittle wary I will lose all my email's.
simple solution, get a yahoo or gmail e-mail address and those woes will be gone. Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers
