Windows Mail not opening
I was not able to use Windows Mail after downloading Windows
Essentials/Windows Live Email. When on some websites and requesting information; the website will attempt to open my Email program. Even though I now use Windows Live Email, the sites attempt to open Windows Mail (which will not open). Can I safely delete/uninstall Windows mail, without interfering with Windows Live Mail (which works fine!). If so; will my visited websutes now attempt to open Windows Live Mail? Thank you, Snakedoctor

Windows Mail not opening
Try repairing the WinMail database: www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/
You can also go to control panel | Default Programs and make WLM default. steve "Snakedoctor" wrote in message ...

Windows Mail not opening
You can't uninstall Windows Mail since it is an integral part of Vista.
It sounds like your Windows Live Mail doesn't have all its defaults. The following procedure will rewrite the default protocol assignments in the registry: Open the Default Programs applet, then click on "Set program access and computer defaults." Expand the Custom selection, and select Windows Live Mail. Click OK. Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) ------------------------------------------------------ "Snakedoctor" wrote in message ...
