I had a lot of trouble transfering all my data from one disk to a new one. I finally made it, but when I try to start WINDOWS LIVE MAIL an error windows pops up and tells me that windoiws live mail cannot be started because of damaged or corrupt data of my calendar - error 0x8E550247 . I tried to uninstall and re-install windows live several times with the same result.
What can I do?

I have had the MSN dial-up e-mail format since dial-up first came on since there was no high-speed cable avail. Still have it on the computer I gave to the church but don't have the disk I got...likely 10 years ago.
How do I get the disk or the download?

- Like many, I'm using an encrypted disk image to store the Microsoft User Data file for security reasons. I reindexed the mounted disk image (using sudo mdutil -E /...) but this did not help.
I recently migrated to a new laptop and imported my old Outlook 6 messages to Windows Mail Live. I then compacted. I was able to use Windows Live normally, send and receive messages, etc., for about a day. The next time I closed Windows Mail Live, it started a process showing a box that says "Making a backup copy of the current database . . ."
That was 2.5 days ago. It still says it is backing up, the disk is still running constantly, the computer is slow, and I cannot open Windows Mail Live to access my messages.
I have a good-sized email database (about 10G in Outlook 6), but I am concerned that (a) something is wrong, and the backup will never finish, or (b) it could be days or weeks before it finishes and I am again able to access my messages via Windows Live Mail.
Can I safely stop the back-up process? Is it normal for it to take so long? (I have a 7200 disk, and a three-month old Dell XPS15 with 8G RAM, so I doubt it is a speed-of-hardware issue.) Also, how can I set settings so that backups in the future are less long or done less frequently?
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. Windows Mail Live updated as of October 1, 2012. Dell XPS15 laptop.
Thanks in advance.
