On Vista, Windows' Mail:
When attempting to Send/Receive I get the following Error:

Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please review
the list of errors below for more details.

There are NO listed errors under the Error tab. This happens ALL the time.
I have to run "Receive" and "Send" separately
 
That's a typical symptom of interference from an antivirus program.
Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:
