Windows Live Mail 2012 Suddenly Started Crashing
I have been using WLM 2012 on my Win7 desktop PC for years. It literally worked fine until this afternoon.
I powered up the PC this morning about 7am as I normally do. WLM started normally. I opened and read several new emails. Deleted some. All was normal.
Around 9:30am I closed all applications, logged off Win7 and put the PC in sleep mode. I was leaving the house for an appointment. I came back between Noon & 1pm and woke up the PC. I started WLM and went to the calendar to enter a new appointment. As I was doing that, it crashed. I let it close and restart. Ever since, it crashes during startup. The main window opens, I see it go through checking each email account for new messages and when it gets to updating calendar, it crashes.
I tried powering down & restarting the PC. Same problem. I ran the Windows Live Essential repair function from Control Panel which ran to normal completion. Rebooted the PC but it still had the same problem.
I do NOT have the infamous KB 3093594 patch installed.
Here is the entry from the Event Viewer. Any ideas? I'm in real trouble not being able to read any emails before crashing.
