How do I set up Windows Live Mail

ahlayna · Mar 31, 2014

I'm finding it more and more difficult to email folks on various websites because they use Windows Live Mail. Example: I listen to a lot of radio. I want to send the host an email. I go here (as an example) http://www.ktrh.com/pages/contact-ktrh.html I click the host that I would like to email. I immediately get this message: "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)" Evidently something is not set up correctly on my end. When I click start, go to all programs then click Windows Live Mail I get the same exact message.

How do I set up Windows Live Mail? I can't even get into the program! Oh please, all ye wise all knowing computer guru's, what can I do to get Windows Live Mail going?

Do you have a shortcut to Windows Live Mail so that you can run the program? Is WLM set up for your email account? Do you have Windows Live Mail set as the default mail program?

Sounds like Windows Live Mail is set as the default email program, but the real problem lies with the program itself.

First things first, how much free disk space is there on the drive that contains the Windows installation?

Live Mail is contained within the Windows Essentials suite of programs, which you can see in Programs and Features under Control Panel. From there, you can repair the installation and uninstall and reinstall the suite, so give those a try.
