Two questions about WLM. I updated to 2012 and can no longer send an email to a group! I am asked to separately include individual names. Also I no longer have a ribbon at the top of WLM. Thanks

I updated from Windows Live Mail 2011 to 2012. Two things happened. I can no longer send an email to a group. I get an error message which says "the message cannot be sent. Type an email address for one or more recipients in the TO, CC or BCC box." Obviously an unacceptable situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The helpful ribbon at the top has disappeared. I now have a barebones menu with many fewer choices. is there a way to restore the ribbon? Thanks very much!
