When creating a new message after selecting a recipient from the contacts
list, after pressing "Send" the message simply disappears and cannot be found
in any folder and is not transmitted. However if a message is set up by
simply typing the destination it is transmitted as normal. Can anyone explain
what is happening?

I think you are omitting a few steps.
You can't create a new email by simply opening Contacts and then
selecting a contact. Are you right-clicking on the contact and selecting
Action, E-mail? If so, that uses the MailTo protocol.
To ensure that Windows Mail has all its protocols assigned, open the
Default Programs applet, which you can access either from
the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item:
"Set your default programs."
After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on "Windows
Mail". If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults"
then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.
