Windows Live Mail FAQ
I have this installed in my programs & features. I do not use Messenger 11.5 anymore and not sure what else it works with. I want to uninstall it, but not sure I should since I know I cannot download it anymore. Would you tell me what else I might be using it for?
Original title: Windows Live Essentials 2011
Hi,
Issue:
"Windows Live Mail could not be started. It may not be installed correctly. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory. (0x80041161)"I understand that this problem had been posted before, however I have tried and gone through a couple of solutions but it doesn't seem to work (see below for solutions that were unsuccessful). It was working perfectly fine the day before and this just happened.
Appreciate any help or suggestions! Thank you!
I've tried the following series of solutions but none seem to work:
1. services.msc --> Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant --> Automatic
Unable to start the service --> error message: Windows could not start Windows Live Sign-In Assistant on Local computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
2. Programs --> Windows Live Essentials 2011 --> Double Click
No response when double clicked.
3. Regedit --> Windows Live Mail registry --> Exported back up, deleted existing and restart WLM
Same error message --> WLM could not be started......
4. Ran MS Security Essentials --> no threats found
5. Re-install WLM from microsoft website --> wlsestup-web.exe
Error message "C:\Windows\system32\wer.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support"
Many thanks,
Daphne
Thinking of Upgrading my PC from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit. I downloaded the software of Windows Essentials 2011 & created a account, but recently had to uninstall it to update a driver. I read an advisor from Microsoft Security Bulletin that Windows Live Essentials 2011 is no longer available to download for Windows Vista, because of vulnerability in the Windows Live Essentials 2011 software. My question is did the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade address attention for a solution?
A few days ago, I finally updated windows live essentials 2011 to the windows essentials 2012. Since then, I have been unable to print any images from either photo gallery or from the windows photo viewer. Documents print without a problem.
Things I have tried
1. deleting the 2012 and going back to 2011
2. made sure that everything is running on the latest versions/drivers.. this includes my printer
3. ran the sfc and nothing was found there
4. stopped and restarted the spooler successfully
5. printer scan shows that everything is installed correctly and should print (it prints everything but images from the 2 programs)
6. made sure that none of the parameters on the gallery and viewer had been changed and none of the parameters on the printer have been changed.
Are there any other things to try?

Since switching from Windows XP with OUTLOOK email to Windows 7 with Windows Live Mail under Windows Live Essentials 2011, I to have experienced this error message and lock up problem. My wife and I have two separate profiles and two separate email accounts all coming from the same POP server. Both of us have experienced this problem in our email, me twice, her once so far. working with Dell support on our new computer, we finally determined that the problems were caused by corrupted emails. Once in the outbox, and another in the inbox. We were unable to open, respond to, or delete emails once the account locked up. I was able to clear the problem once by selecting every email that had the error message at the same time and deleting all at once. The other time, Dell was able to finally solve the lockup but I can't tell you exactly how they did it.
I'm concerned that this problem has occurred three times. Additionally, since switching to Windows Live Mail I continually get duplicate emails about 90 percent of the time from random senders. My wife has experienced this problem once or twice also. I'm trying to solve both these problems with this new mail setup.
