    It's a Miracle. Thanks


    Hello Guys,

    First to answer the question regarding my version of Windows 7. I'm sorry this may not be of much help. A friend passed away last year and his wife let me have a bunch of computer stuff from his office She is totally computer illiterate and was going to toss everything in the garbage. As I said I had Windows 7 on my desktop since it first came out. For some strange reason I could never get the SP1 to install but I have always downloaded the updates. But he left a disk (download maybe?) that simply had hand written on it Windows 7 SP1. So this I put on my new X1 Carbon. I downloaded all the updates and had all these problems with Mail. During these few days I also updated my x300 ThinkPad and then it had the same problems……UNTILL I removed the 3 updates. I now realize that I also did a system restore.



    After reading the posts here from Endeavor and others I turned off IE11 and the problem immediately went away. I then uninstalled the IE 11 update, turned IE 10m on and the problem seems to have disappeared. I went back to my x300 where I noticed that it had i.e. 10. It also no longer had two i.e. icons one of which had said IE64 bit. This must have been removed with the System Restore. I use Firefox anyway.


    Anyway for me this is such a big deal because I was reluctant to even use my new X1Carbon because to me it was like it was “defective” since I couldn’t use my email so as crazy as it might sound to a normal person I have been using both the old and new laptops and refraining from even adding software to the new one because of this. Some of my programs really require the i7 processor in my x1 which is why I bought it so this was really disappointing.


    I cannot thank you enough for giving me the solution to this nightmare. It would seem that indeed the problem was cased by IE11

    You're welcome and thanks for your post.

    IE10 is pretty good too.. IE11 just takes it up a notch, but IE10 is fine.
    You can still use Firefox as your browser that's fine, but WinMail still draws on IE and that's why.

    "WinMail still draws on IE and that's why."

    When I unchecked the box to disable IE11 I did get a warning that it could affect other Windows functions or something like that and I believe in a previous post there was reference to it being so embedded or entwined with Windows that it's even difficult to separate. I previously had no idea that it was in any way connected to Mail and have no idea what else might be affected but I will leave it turned on now except in its IE10 version.

    Again thanks so much. I have always found this to be such an excellent forum

    kewl1, you typed in that last line referring to IE11:
    "but I will leave it turned on now except in its IE10 version"

    You meant to say turned Off right?

    Well either way, something is amiss in understanding and I just needed to dot the i's on this.

    Please read again in the first paragraph of what I found in my test on post 1435

    And so after you read that you will see if IE11 is not uninstalled but only disabled, but even though IE11 is disabled (which just means you can't access the internet with a browser is all and self-explanatory) but with WM and IE11 installed even if IE11 disabled via unchecking it in the "Turn Windows Features On or Off" options, On 64 bit Not 32 bit, WinMail Will Still Crash with IE11 disabled on the problematic HTML emails because it is 'still installed but only internet disabled' therefore still directly connected to IE11's HTML rendering process and that's the problem, however in either way it will not crash on IE8, IE9, or IE10 is what the answer is.

    I think having read your posts again you have said that you used System Restore to a previous restore point, but that actually uninstalled IE11 to the Previous IE version, and not just disabled it as indicated, and why you started working. This is all an important distinction though and is why I needed to clarify it.

    Sorry for the confusion Endeavor. It's probably due to my trying to talk about two laptops.

    OK the new laptop; I installed Windows 7.1 and all updates. Windows Mail had bad problems. After reading your post about a likely relationship between WinMail and IE11, I disabled IE11 and the problems disappeared. So I also then uninstalled the IE11 Update and re-enabled IE which now appears as IE 10 and Mail is perfect.

    On the old laptop I never had a problem until the same time I had the problem with the new one. This would seem to point to an update. I also had two icons for IE one of which was labeled 64 bit and I used it only occasionally because I use Firefox. Then I downloaded about 10 updates and got the same problems with Mail that I had on the new computer. I removed the updates about 3 at a time and the problems went away. In retrospect I also did a system restore which I now think must have removed the IE11 update if it was not one of the ones I removed manually. Both laptops IE's say they are now version 10. The 64 bit icon that was there for quite some time is also now gone. I cannot explain that since I'm positive it was there long before there was an IE11. Maybe even prior to IE10. I used to wonder why I had two IE icons, one of which said 64 and the other nothing.
    I hope this helps

    The important thing here is to know in your situation kewl1 is that when you moved back to IE10, WM works fine concerning the problem.
    I just needed to make sure you didn't have any helpful hidden gems to learn from. Thank you.

    Working towards a simple, logical, proper, and quick way to get it for '64bit' IE11 users too, if possible.
    Will be working on it in the Spare time but certainly don't hold any breaths waiting; for the majority of 64bit WinMail users, IE10 is the easiest answer for now.

    Hi.

    I have been trying to use this to install Windows Mail in Windows 8.1.

    I get to the 'Authorised Command Prompt' box where is shows C:\Windows\system 32.

    It won't allow me to delete that and insert C:\Users\Paul\Downloads\TutReWinMail\

    I have tried typing C:\Users etc. after C:\Windows'system 32 but that doesn't work.

    Could it be that this not working because this method doesn't work for Windows 8.1?

    I am not that computer savvy but can anyone help?

    Many thanks.

    Welcome to the SevenForums Paul,

    This thread is only for Windows 7 WinMail users support, but thank you for your post and inquiry.

    To get some information on how to do it for Windows 8 it may be best to request that on the EightForums and someone can help you there.
    The method there is not as written organized as it is for Windows 7, but it's all there is right now. Also it's more for advanced users and of course not supported. You can start by reading the thread over there, and here is the link below to do that, Thank you.

    How to use Winmail on Windows 8.
