Transparent window?

[kheali]

Ok, strangest thing, after I followed Robert's instructions to fix sending
photos that wouldn't open...see thread below...I went back into WM and my
inbox window is transparent and not functioning. What could be the deal?

This a typical symptom of interference from a non-compatible antivirus.

Ahhhh! I had a feeling that was what I was going to here.

No biggie. Just uninstall your antivirus, reboot, then try Windows Mail
again. I think you'll find it works remarkably better!

Then, at your convenience, download and install a more compatible
antivirus like:

AVG free edition:

or
Avast free edition:

With either of those, during the install phase you must select custom
install, and then deselect the email scanning option.

I've used Computer Associates (CA) antivirus without any problems
for the past 12 months, but it is not free.

Ahh Gary,
I knew this was coming. I have just been biding my time on a wave of good
luck! I will make the change a new priority. Can I get your opinion on WLM?
Better than WM? Does it also act buggy with different antivirus'? Thank
you.

I use both WM and WLM, but prefer WLM for email. It has more
features, and seems to be more resistant to corruption damage
from antivirus programs. WLM even tolerates McAfee and Norton
as long as you configure them not to scan email.

Thank you so much Gary. You have been extremely helpful.
Have a great day.

You're quite welcome.
