Working properly now?
I understand the fact that you spent a good deal
of time - but I don't know if everything is OK?

Did you register the files for IE?

Hi VistaRookie!

Starting IE without add-ons (right click) of course didn't affect
WinMail.
(To set all add-ons to "deactivated" within IE didn't help IE, and of
course
not WinMail!)

Now I was tired: The deletion and re-creation of Windows user profile
helped.
(What an expense...)

Strange effects. No matter - for this costs I could by 3 PCs with
included
setup.

Before I discuss the settings you provided, try this
freeware program. It registers 89 necessary files
for Internet Explorer. Try it and then see if there
is any change in running Windows Mail. Running
the Fix IE shouldn't cause any harm. If it happens
to fix everything, then nothing further needs to be
done. Be sure IE is closed when you run it.

One question,also.
When you disable add-ons for IE, does
that affect WM too? In other words,
can you then properly open an email in
Windows Mail when they are disabled?

Probably one of the IE add-ons is the culprit.

Hi Sam!

I'm driving different investigation strategies at the same time.
(Of course I'm very attentive to test 100% same files/objects.)

One of them is to test IE with 100% same saved *.mht file.

Problematic restricted user profile, same PC:
- this file is displayed correctly
- I copied this file with Windows Explorer 1:1, the copy isn't displayable

Logged in with another restricted user profile:
- both files are displayed as expected

Strange, isn't it!?

(Of course I'd investigeted in file rights / ACLs, too.)


I think the most critical diagnostic is to ensure that the exact same
file
causes the problem for some users but not all users, but you must be sure
that the file is the exact same file. Assumptions of similiarity can
totally
prevent accurate diagnosis.

Yes, within the newly created Windows user profile all is working properly now!
(As expected in the beginning.)

The effect fundamentally was limited to one's Windows user profile
(restricted, no administraor) - so I'd to assume the reason was somewhere in
his user settings, in the beginning of my analysis. But my ambition was to
find this reason - to costly - so I gave up, finally.)

(I didn't register any files for IE [don't understand what you're meaning].)

Thanks for taking part in my (ugly) error hunting "project"!

Great, you're welcome.

As to registering files, primarily dll files like mshtml.dll, have
to be registered (put properly into the registry) for programs
to function. Sometimes corruption in the registry is a cause
of failure for a program. If you read back on my previous
posts, you will find the program I suggested to download.
Takes less than a minute to run and may not solve anything
but it also shouldn't hurt anything. So, it is always worth a
try in these types of situations.
