found an update link on majorgeeks yesterday, got it
downloaded and installed it.

clicked on it after finished rebooting and no email program?

no icons to start it i had to click on it by going in to the folder
for program icons i save in case they don't make new ones on
an update, and i clicked on it.

but it did not work.

messed around with it doing reboots and restarts and repair installs.
nothing worked for about 5 hours. i gave up. last thing i tried was to down
load all the other live software programs and install them, hoping it would fix
it.

still nothing. :dosgonebad:

i went to sleep, got up this morning and tried the program again.
and it started. started slow but it loaded and is now running when i click
on the icon.

but now the dang blasted thing won't keep the contacts i have imported them
from cvs books i made as back ups and i have imported the current users book
like the program said to do.
but every time i do that as soon as i close the program it toss's the contacts out.
it won't keep them.
:banghead: :banghead:
does anyone know how to make that da.... thing work and keep the contacts?

:P

Who said I died?? :bsod:

Anyway, I've used that since it first came out and it can be fickle to install--at least the earlier ones were.

I'd advise completely uninstalling it--than run a registry cleaner --and reinstall it and cross yer fingers.

Also, I'd get it from the MS site as, once they change the program, earlier versions REALLY screw up

MS download link :dosgonebad: :awesome:

thanks for the link richardj

majorgeeks does link directly to microsofts file servers.
when they post info for one of ms's programs.

but just why it did not work i don't know as it seems to have worked
all was done but took time for some reason i also loaded all the other live stuff from online,

something is just a mis with the newest version of wlmail it won't let me change from that dang light purpleish pink color crap, and it won't keep the contacts. i'm wondering now if i have to log in on the addmin instead of the user with addmin rights to get it to keep the contacts after i import them.?

will try that after i reinstall from the link you gave, it downloaded a msi web set up, so i clicked their try again button and am getting the 134 mb full set up file for offline set ups. that might fix it. i never did like running set up over the net. too many unknown computer hops and any one of them can have a bad effect on the package being sent in.
