Windows Mail Inbox corrupt

[NIGHTCRAWLERmb]

I'm running Vista; just today all of a sudden after leaving my inbox, which
was working okay, opening all incoming msgs, I went back to it to open new
ones and none would open. Each time I tried to open one it would just start
building up on my taskbar and not open. I checked Task Manager and first task
read; Driver Software Installation, and along with that it showed the e-mails
I had tried to open.I waited to see if the Dvr Software Install was doing
anything but nothing was occurring, so I ended all tasks. I further deleted
all that was in my Delete box. I also can delete from my Inbox, no problem.
So at present I have saved all my e-mails into a separate folder, on the
chance that correcting the current problem, I may lose all opened and
unopened e-mails.
Would apprec any assist you may be able to provide.
With thanks

Sounds like my problem. Suddenly my Inbox showed that I had nine messages but
none was viewable. Then I went to Send box and the whole program just shut
down. Have no idea why any of this happened. Any help in restoring the system
would be greatly appreciated

Try repairing the WinMail database: www.oehelp.com/WMUTil/

Also, see point 3 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 and check for 3rd party program interference.
