Title: Windows Live Mail will not start
Post by: Dougthedog on January 02, 2010, 02:29:59 PM
My mail program will simply not run.
It will run but after a minute or so the following error message appears: 0x800C0155
I have run my antivirus and antispam programs but i still have the problem, the curious thing is the other users on my PC are able to use the Windows Live Mail without a hitch when they log in.
i am currently running my PC on Windows7 Ultimate

Hope anyone can help thanks

Have you tried using something like http://www.ccleaner.com/ and cleaning out your files.
It sounds like something linked to your account so I would start there. Run a full scan and clean.
Let us know how you get on  ;)

Let me just step in and clarify here kareem.

In this Post the OP was asked if he was logged into his machine as Admin.

You replied that Carbon was the only Admin here.

Those are 2 completely different things unrelated which means you may not have had a clear understanding of the issue at hand.

And i'll remind you all to keep things civil.

:) The downside to that is the inability to know when you have to correct advice in a post that, if followed, would cause more trouble for the OP than he or she started with.

Hi DougtheDog I'm not entirely sure that removing windows mail was the right choice as it's part of windows. (Not saying it's a bad thing) just thinking you should of removed your account first and then tried a new account.
What happens when you try to start live mail now?

Are you referring to the User account right?

Try using "Forced Uninstall" with Revo using the following
 "Path"
C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail
 "programs name"
Windows Live Mail

I have had the same problem where my hotmail did not work but all other accounts do.
Although I have fixed this problem I still can not uninstall live essentials.

to fix the problem open live mail
right click the non working email account
select properties
select the server tab
change the server URL from

http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v1.0.0/sync.aspx

to

http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp

Something to do with the upgrade from the old Hotmail to windows live

This is probably due to something left behind in the registry. try using a registry cleaner such as registry mechanic (which I used for the same problem but had to pay for) or a free regcleaner to get rid of entries left behind when you unistalled.

No no no no no.

Do NOT use a registry cleaner. They have the potential to do more harm than good.

No it's not.

(which I used for the same problem but had to pay for)

You were duped.

Registry cleaners will find hundreds of "issues" with your computer that are not there, just so you will buy them. If you really want to clean your registry which you don't really have to use something like CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/download/)
as at least you can back up your registry and then clean it. Do not fall into the trap of these so called registry cleaners like regcure. There not worth the trouble they can bring to your computer.

These 4 registry keys can be deleted,Revo's forced uninstall should have done that already though.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail desktop
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail desktop

Can i manually remove these?

First Create a restore point (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-restore-point) in case you do something wrong. Then you can manually backup and delete the registry keys (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry)
