Windows Live Mail will not start

[Mulreay]

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?

Yes the user account

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

well it seems i've tried almost everything and still no solution, so i guess i will have to access my email via my web browsers

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

Not able to as i had already deleted Windows Live
But i cannot reinstall it as whenver i run the installation program it reads as if i still have it installed

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.

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
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 in case you do something wrong. Then you can manually backup and delete the registry keys
