Hello everyone,

I am trying to set up a replacement computer and getting all of the programs I like on it. One of my favorite programs is Windows Life Mail, where I have a Hotmail, Gmail and pop account. The new computer is 16GB ram, i7-4770 Processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 645, Dell XPS 8700

After loading many programs up, I installed Windows Live essential for Windows 8.1, which included, Windows Live Mail, Movie Maker, Live Writer, and Photo Gallery. Mail seemed to work and I imported my contact list, (this was Sat.).

I noticed a problem starting Sunday afternoon, when I tried to check my mail. there was a warning saying a Live dll was missing, (I don't remember which one). A windows troubling shooting site said to remove mail and other Live essential programs and reinstall them. I did that and now I am getting this message when I try to load Live Mail:

This a text version  of the error message.

wlmail.exe - Ordinal Not Found

(RED circle with a white X in the middle)

The Ordinal 52 could not be located in the dynamic link library

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared\UXCore.dll.

I tried to "repair" live essentials but it didn't help. I also tried to remove and install all live essential programs and reinstall them once again to no avail (they all get the same error message except Live Writer).

The file in question, C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared\UXCore.dll only appears in one place. UXCore.dll is not anywhere else, and if I uninstall the programs it disappears and when I re-install them it shows up again. It is version 16.4.3522.0110 and 2.44MB is size, dated 1/10/2014 12:29PM

I removed the live suite again and manually deleted a common empty Live folder in program86 folder. then installed mail only. Same problem.

Please help me get back one of my favorite programs, Windows Live Mail.
