Win Live Mail hangs when I try to compose an e-mail.

I recently had to uninstall Mcafee virus definitions, system mechanic and dll-fixer because they all became non-functional. I installed Microsoft Essentials and use the virus definitions and Win firewall now. I choose to additionally activate Win Live Mail instead of my Win Mail.

Win Live Mail however hangs when I try to compose a mail message. Not much good as an e-mail program!! The hang is so bad that only a computer reboot escapes from the program.

I don't want to uninstall/reinstall Microsoft Essentials as I am using the virus definitions/firewall. This is the suggestion in some forums!

Can anyone suggest another fix?

I have reverted to Win Mail but would like the additional opportunities of Win Live Mail - if only I could get it to work (send email).

Any help appreciated!

I am running Vista 32 bit. Would upgrading to win 7 help?
