I changed appropriate permissions and copied the windows mail folder from vista to Windows 7. It worked great and I thought all was well till I got an email with an attachment .eml. The error was the classic "windows cannot open this file.. . no program is associated" etc., message. I saved the .eml attachment to desktop, created the association to winmail.exe, and double clicked it. It opened winmail, in the same manner as though I had just clicked the short cut to winmail.exe. Without opening the .eml attachment.
I've also replaced Windows 7's msoe.dll with Vista's, again to no avail.
Also as I'm searching around, I'm running into "wisperings" of the possible need to keep a copy of Vista functional so that I can download windows mail updates to install in windows 7.
It may just prove to be not worth the hassle. It's a shame. I LIKED O.E., settled for Windows Mail, and am disgusted with Windows Live Mail!!
People send me photos, documents, etc with the attachments and Im unable to open them. When I click on them, it tries to open with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007 / enter a Product key. I dont have that program installed. The people who are sending me these things dont have the program either. How can I set it to open in a different program?
I'm not computer savvy but I can follow directions pretty well. Recently, I've discovered I cannot open any Zip files from my computer. I get an Adobe Acrobat error message saying I cannot open file because it is either not supported or file is damaged. This message comes up every time I try to open a zip file, no matter the source. I suspect it may be a default association problem based on the research I have done but I don't know how to correct the issue. As I said, I don't know a lot about operating systems.
I have three user accounts on my pc; the mail account that I use will not open windows live mail (the main screen for live mail displays but the application never fully opens. My other accounts will allow me to open live mail, is there any way to copy files from one account to another or are there
I have two dell computers. Before, I used to be able to go to craigslist, etc and click on the link and it open a blank email. Now, the links don't open. I checked and still have windows live essentials. I tried to make windows live mail my default in the programs area, but even thou I clicked on 'ok' at end, it won't stay there. I have google chrome as my email too.
Whenever I run a game like Team Fortress 2 (in full screen but I'm not sure if it happens in windowed) it will automatically open Windows Live Mail and sit there in the background until I close it. How do I fix this?
When I get messages from someone sending from outlook with a link inside the message, it doesn't show up as a link in my email, and I cannot click on it and open it. I am using windows live mail on a 64 bit windows 7 computer.
I cannot open my email, either saved or new. New e-mail messages will download, but will not open. I get this message: "A problem occurred while trying to open this message. A problem has occurred. Please try again." A few days ago, all was well.
I am using Windows 7 in a Dell Inspiron and my live mail on my desktop will no longer open. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but my battery went dead while the computer was on two days ago, but I've been able to get into the mail since.Windows Live Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the Windows Live Mail message store. Windows Live mail was unable to locate the message database. If you've moved the database files to a new location, click OK to rest the database path to that location. Otherwise, click Cancel to proceed, any existing messages found will be available under Orphaned Accounts (0x00000000.2) If I click ok or cancel, I get: Quote: Windows live mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the Windows live message store. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full. (0x8007002) So far, to attempt to remedy it: Run a disk check Restarted three times Run Repair on the Live stuff Tried system restore to four days ago I even removed my anti-virus (temporary of course) None of the above has any affect.How can I save my emails without being able to open the mail program itself? As one of the few idiots, I did not back up my emails. Where are the located? I figure if I can find them, pull them into another folder and the reload the Live stuff.
Is it possible for the program NOT to open the next message when deleting the current, opened message? If I delete the current opened message, I want the message window to close and go back to the Inbox. Currently, upon delete, the window opens to the next message from the Inbox.
I have read the Windows Mail tutorial but I have a problem.
I have used Take Ownership and removed Windows Live Mail 64 and installed Windows Mail 64 as per tutorial.
I have the shortcut on the desktop but when I try to open from there it says:-
Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the Windows Mail message store. Windows Mail was unable to locate its message database. If you’ve moved the database files to a new location, click okay to reset the database to that location.
I clicked okay and I now click on the hidden folder Widows Mail hoping that will do the trick, it doesn’t!
The next error message I get is:-
Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the Windows Mail message store.
The last error message I get is:-
Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialised.
When I try to open a web hyperlink in my Outlook 2003 mail, I get a pop up saying it is "denied due to security settings on this computer." I can open hyperlinks in Hot Mail just fine. I have Windows 7. I have tried to change all my security settings but nothing will allow me to open links in Outlook mail. I started having this problem after I upgraded from XP to Windows 7.
Suddenly my windows live email inbox - where new messages appear won't open, when it starts it says recovering database and then when i try to open it I get a message which says folder could not be dsiplayed and lists the following.
I notice it says (2). I'd love to have something pinned down there to show mail...I am seriously thinking of switching to HM.What is that exactly? Maybe just a mailpage thats open and shows the # of mails?
None of the hyperlinks will open in my outlook 2003 email. I get a msg saying that security on this computer has denied this operation. I also use Hot Mail and the links open OK there. I have Windows 7. I have disabled all my security programs and the problem is still there.
One day, for no apparent reason, my Windows Live Mail decided it wouldn't start no matter what I did. After searching this and other resources, and trying the suggested solutions, I finally came up with my own. This is what worked for me, hope it helps someone else:
1. I had a look at the log files, located here: C:Users(MY-USERNAME)AppDataLocalMicrosoftWLSetupLogs They all seemed to start OK but then hang at the same place. The last line in the log file said "Cert :00000900 (06/29/2012 20:12:10.094) Verifying signature of file=[C:Users\__USERNAME__AppDataLocalWindows Live.cacheLOO5rDp5hbmHg5sboPPgQ2mUlhc=]..."
2. So I deleted the whole C:Users(MY-USERNAME)AppDataLocalWindows Live.cache folder. Restarted my PC and tried once more. Live Mail was "Live" again!
MY computer (windows 7) doesnt open a microsoft outlook mail address online is just says that it cannot display the page or that the page is unavailable i have tried all the browsers I have IE,OPERA,MOZILLA,and GOOGLE CHROME. but its thesame response what should I do thesame site opens on other laptops.
I just bought a new Samsung RV511 laptop. I legally downloaded Windows office 2003 on it. My laptop will not open email attachments with my windows office 2003. However, my old desktop will open the same email. I don't want windows office 2010. What can I do to make attachments open with Windows 2003?
As of yesterday when ever I attempt to upload a file or an attachment by email or site request I am hit by instant BSOD! I have a compressed file of all logs on my desktop but unble to upload for your scrutiny as blocked by BSOD!
How can I get file to you? PC works well in all other aspects,and restarts after BSOD without a problem.
Only change to system was recent upgrade of Canon Pixma printer 3000 to all in one Canon printer Pixma 499....using the new printer/scanner/copier/ets,I carried out my first ever scan to this PC.It could be coincidental,but problem began after that!
I am a new Windows 7 user (XP previously).When I want to send a URL link in an email, I am used to backclicking and selecting send as attachment at which point an email pops up from Outlook (which I keep running) with the URL in the text.
