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
