Windows Mail

I have double clicked the WinMail.exe shortcut on my desk top but it doesn't appear on screen. According to task manager it is running. How can I see it?

I have just upgraded to a new computer, and wanted to move my Windows Mail to the new puter... but cant seem to get it to work...

We found a couple of links on how to do it...

We followed the instructions but it just launches loads of instances of the program without actually showing anything... loads of the programs process if that makes sense

Anyone know what it might be or am I doomed to use Windows Live Mail

Oh I will mention also that the old computer is a 32 bit, where as the new one is a 64 bit... would that make a difference ?

Can you please explain further what you say.

Hmmm I am not very techie... my mate did it via remote acces... in the task manager where it shows the processes there were loads for the Windows Mail... but nothing was actually opening/showing...

He's not about right now... I will have to ask him what the actual names were when he gets back, but as I said they were basically the exe for the program, but loads of them...

but loads of them...

??? Do you mean several Windows Mail . exe Processes?

I only have one.

I'm no expert but I would consider a System Restore to an earlier date, and start over.

You are doomed. Not really, it CAN be done, but my experience is that when all is said and done... it isn't worth it, and it'll always give you grief. I've found Thunderbird to be a satisfactory replacement for outlook express. Getting your addresses imported isn't easy but TBird has a plugin you can install to do it. I like TBirds calendar. The whole mail client is a LOT like Outlook Express, and you don't have the whole worry of hacking your registry and not knowing what's going on.
