I pray someone out there can help me. I had Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta.
I was getting msg "Could not perform this operation because the default mail
client is not properly installed". I tried everything under the sun to fix
this. Contacted WLM newsgroup. I was told I was getting this msg because I
was using BETA version of WLM. I was given a very long set of instructions to
uninstall and reinstall the new version of WLM. What a mistake. I
eventually ended up with this message after I was all done reinstalling.
"PLease wait while Windows configures Windows Live Mail". It would sit there
a few seconds and then disappear. No WLM. I googled this message and
discovered this was a well known problem. One of the solutions was a registry
change that involved Permissions. I went ahead and changed...still did not
work. I decided the heck with it and did a System Restore. I needed my
email !!
So, today, I decided to go with Windows Mail. (Outlook 2007 is too slow and
causes my CPU to constantly run)
My problem is this: I cannont import my messages from the back up folders.
For Select the format, I chose Microsoft Windows Mail 7, because the other 3
listed would not work. I browsed to the location and hilighted one of the
folders. The file path appeared under Location of Messages....and when I
clicked on NExt, I received this error: :No messages can be found in this
folder or another application is running that has the required files open.
Please select another folder or try closing applications that may have filed
open". I cannot proceed any further. I am in a panic because I need my
messages. Please tell me how I can import my messages from WLM Desktop to
Windows Mail. I am praying there is a solution for this.
Thanks so much,
Eileen
