Windows Live Mail doesn't work in Firefox after recent updates to Windows 7. System Restore doesn't help.

Installed around 8 important Windows 7 updates over the past 3 days (so, nothing I could uninstall as they're security updates mainly). Since then, Windows Live Mail doesn't respond in Firefox. Did 2 System Restores and downloaded Live Essentials again but nothing works.

Did you try to clear the cookies as well?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247

Hi
Can you please HELP??
I recently had to change my hard drive for my laptop (Sony Vaio). The IT guy replaced my HDD and ghost all my information
from old to new drive. Everything works perfect except for Windows Live Mail.
When I open WLM I get this error:
“Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing
Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)”
I have since done the following:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 1:
1. Close Windows Live Mail and any other Windows Live programs.
2. Click Start (then Run for
Windows XP), paste the following path below and press Enter:
%Localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars
3. Rename the folder of the account you use to sign in to Windows Live Mail to
sync your calendar (ex. rename [email protected] to [email protected]).
4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
5. Launch Windows Live Mail again.
THIS DID NOT WORK SO I DID THE FOLLOWING:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 2:
I removed WLM (uninstall) and reinstalled and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 3:
I also renamed the WLM folder and reinstalled WLM, then deleted the new WLM folder and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 4:
I also tried to import my emails from WLM to Microsoft Outlook but I only have a copy of my mails from the directory.
I do not have an EXPORT copy saved anywhere. Is there any way I can export the WLM to Microsoft outlook?
PLEASE HELP I AM AT WITS END.

I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1. It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc). Once File(s), Folder(s)
and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem. I transferred her user profile with a free program called
Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD. I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old". I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred. When you move profile data, all the old permissions
have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user. This cleared up all the permission
problems.

Windows 8.1 store apps aren't running after definition update of windows defender!!!

I am currently running windows 8.1 pro with media centre. 15 days back I installed this update
"Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602 (Definition 1.189.752.0)"
after which my all windows apps(precisely metro apps/windows store apps) stoped working. Whenever I open such apps they dont get open. Sadly this update not uninstallable. I restored my system to the previous date. and all the apps started working
again. But now yesterday my windows updated again & now again I am in the same situation and this time I am unable to restore my windows as there is not restore point left. :/
Can any body help me out with this? I have scanned my Pc with Kapsersky2014, no viruses are found on system.

Hi,
Before returning the system to a previous restore point, we can first do some troubleshooting and see whether it KB2267602 that case this issue.
First, I suggest you run wsreset.exe to clear the Windows Store cache, most issues are caused by the cache, then you can also chec other solutions in the link below:

Meid no longer working with ting after recent update

Hey guys i have a 4s with an meid of 99000, was working fine then the recent update seems to have changed the meid or something because it was different then the one originally supplied to ting my provider, and it no longer works on any network it seems,
it was my wifes phone on the sprint network and worked fine on ting for a couple years until recently
any idea on what i can do? or how to fix?

i think its the sim card i get 2 bars without it and no service with the sim card in, does this sound right?

Realplayer quit working in firefox after downloading updates

realplayer quit working with firefox when updates were downloaded.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after firefox and adobe 10 were updated

Could you be more specific? What exactly is happening when you try to download something with Firefox?
[[Unable to download or save files]]
[[Downloads window is blank]]
[[Downloads window does not open]]
[[Firefox crashes when trying to download a file]]

Javascript buttons and links no longer work in Firefox after latest update

Whenever I try to use a javascript button or link, nothing happens, I just get a message in the bottom bar such as: "javascript:window.close();" telling me what the command is, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I cannot close windows in social security or in any other program using javascript. This has happened since the last upgrade to Firefox 11. I even tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling (using the Mozilla instructions to '''completely''' remove Firefox) a fresh Firefox eleven, to no avail. I made sure javascript was completely enabled in tools/options/content

I have a similar problem like this. I dont know what the deal is but since some type of either add on upgrade or firefox upgrade i get notifications to install flash when i try to launch anything from google music. I did everything you can think of including uninstalling, reinstalling both the add on "No Script" Firefox itself, ran several diagnostic programs to ensure it wasnt any type of malware, reinstalled Adobe Flash 11, Verified Java version. I even tried to play music from google music in IE8 and that worked so its clearly Mozilla and its add ons. I disabled No Script and Google Music miraculously started working fine. This is pretty irritating considering I do everything in my power to ensure I dont get hit with any type of malware, virus, spyware, etc and No Script is definitely an Add on i like to use for that very reason since Firefox no longer supports the Norton Web Tracker add on. Any fix for this foolishness would be great, thanks!!

WiFi doesn't connect right away after recent update

So after the recent firmware update, I noticed that there is a delay before my internet starts to work in all my WiFi networks (school, home, friends home, work). For example, even though I just connected to the network and it has finished connecting, I cannot actually visit a page at all through a browser and I would have to wait until it just "starts working". It's really annoying, and I was wondering if anyone has the same problem or if anyone has found a fix.

My device it is not rooted. So these are the instructions.
Enable MTP
Connect the device to a computer using the supplied USB cable.
If necessary, select and hold the status bar (located at the top) then drag to the bottom.
Select Connected as a media device.
Select Media device (MTP).
Selected when a check mark is present.
Disable MTP
Ensure the device is disconnected from the computer or switch USB connection modes.
To switch modes, select and hold the status bar (located at the top) then drag to the bottom.
Select Connected as a media device.
Select Camera (PTP).
Selected when a check mark is present.
The problem is that the icon for connected as a media device does not show up. I did not have this issue before the over the air update from Verizon to 4.4.

BT Yahoo Toolbar and Windows Live Mail password se...

I have been puzzling yet again why my auto log in to Windows Live Mail no longer works.
Although I tick "remember me", after a reboot I am asked for my password again.
I then came upon this link:
http://www.i19777.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2169
It seems the BT Yahoo Toolbar installer changes the registry settings. Even if the toolbar is uninstalled the registry remains the same and auto log in to WLM does not work.
Downloading and installing "Make Messenger Remember Me" fixes the problem.
Yes, I know it says "Messenger" but if you do not use it, it works just as well for WL Mail.
This has been a pain for some time now and although I have been in contact with BT numerous times about this, they have never admitted that the Toolbar could be the problem.
Will the moderators please forward this post to the tech guys so that this problem can be addressed?

Nice link and suggestion Smirnoff.
I assume that toolbar sits in the BTYahoo browser, (don't use it here) which is being phased out I think, so it's unlikely BT tech guys will do anything.
Even if the toolbar is uninstalled the registry remains the same and auto log in to WLM does not work so "Make Messenger Remember Me" could be a useful tool for those still irritated by this who turn to another browser.

Windows Live Mail failure

After installing Adobe Design & Web Premium CS6 I now find that my my Windows Live Mail 2012 will not start up. In addition when I boot my computer I get this message:
"There was a problem that caused parts of the Windows Live ID Sign-in assistant to be disabled. The problem may have been caused by a program that was recently installed. For more information, please go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=144689"
The link opens up a web page to log into the Outlook Hotmail Account??
Clearly I can't uninstall my Adobe products, but there was no doubt that before I installed, I had no problems at all with my Windows Live Mail software.
Please help.
Graham

Hi Jeff. There are no error messages when I installed the full package of software included in the Adobe Design & Web Premium CS6. And all the software works fine. It was after installing all updates for the software that when I restarted my PC I got the error message pasted in my first posting and then I found out that Windows Live Mail had stopped working too. I've done a 'repair' on the Windows Live Essentials, but that hasn't made any difference. Tonight I tried installing Windows Live Essentials tool from the MS site, but it stopped reporting I had a newer version already installed. I haven't tried uninstalling all the Adobe Suite yet to see if the error pasted in my first posting goes and Live Mail returns, but that is a bit of a chew on. It's 21:22 here in UK and have to go out. Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Windows Live Mail could not be started .... Your Calendar contains corrupt data .... ox8000fff

I downloaded the Windows Live Essentials for Windows 7 running under Parallels 5.0.9310. When I try to bring up Windows Live Mail I receive the error:
Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (ox8000fff).
I have:
1. Done a repair via control panel
2. Deinstalled just mail from the control panel, removed the registry entries for Windows Live Mail in hkey_current_user and hkey_local_machine.
3. Reinstalled just mail.
Nothing seems to work. I am still getting the error.

Hi Caprichoso,
Since it is to be more of Windows Live Mail issue, I kindly recommend you to contact Windows Live Mail Technical Support Team for a specific solution. Here I would like to share the following method based on my research:
You can click Start, click Control Panel and click Clock, Language, and Region, click Date and Time, click Change time zone and uncheck the box in front of “Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time”, click OK twice.
Best Regards
Dale

Iphone syncing with windows live mail address book using add custom lable

i am having trouble getting the iTunes to sync contact details when using add custom labels when adding contact phone numbers to iPhone, also will not use the windows live mail contacts to sync details seems to want to use windows contacts which my windows live mail (used to be outlook express )does not use for its contacts. gulp hope that makes sense
Message was edited by: yorkshiredavid

yup what? I asked a question...

Should I use Windows Live Mail or Outlook Express ...

I have always used Windows Live Mail, as it is a very simple and pleasant program to use - great graphics, interface and reminders.
I found Outlook way too fiddly and technical, with a very boring interface and comparatively poor reminders that email has arrived.
However, since getting my E71 setup with Nokia Messaging, I have overcome this for the sake of being able to sync my contacts and messages - Outlook 2007 is now set as my default browser.
This was ok, but now when I use Windows Live Messenger I get email reminders up - and clicking on those takes me into Windows Live Mail.
I just want one, streamlined email/messenger service - one of these email managers must be deleted!
- Can I sync my E71 into Windows Live Mail instead of Outlook?
OR
- Can I replace Windows Live Mail with Outlook 2007, as the email manager used by Windows Live Messenger to open emails?
I want everything done with one email browser!

You can use iCloud Mail with Windows Live Mail, but not Calendars or Contacts.
If you want to use iCloud on Windows download EMClient, you can access the core services (Mail, Calendars and Contacts) using it. Installation and configuration will be manual.

Why doesn't Firefox recognize the Windows Live Mail login page as such and offer to remember the password?

For most other sites' login pages, Firefox recognizes that they are login pages and offers to remember my password. For the Windows Live Mail login page it does not.

That log in page is created via JavaScript and the Password Manager doesn't work in that case.
You can see that if you inspect the page source.
*Firefox > Web Developer > Page Source
*Tools > Web Developer > Page Source (Ctrl+U)
*Right-click on a web page to open the right-click context menu and select Page Source
