WLE 2011 Update

J

jbm

Two weeks ago I let this computer install a Windows Live Essentials update
that came in on automatic updates. Since then, WLM has crashed three times
when pressing Send to groups or email. Most times pressing Send causes no
problems. Looks like it has something to do with the Spell Checker. I am
running Word 2000 (9.0.2720) which I think is still the original install
from the original Office 2000 CD's, not updated. I'm not having any problems
with any of the programs in Office.

The WLE update is listed in Control Panel in the programs list
(un-installable). Anybody know what's going on? Would it be safe to
un-install the update?

Since your using:
Windows 7 - Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Windows Live Mail 15.4.3555.308

Sure it came via automatic updates ?
The latest version (QFE3, your version) was deployed via the program (i.e.
not via WU/MU)

WLM doesn't use the Word Spell checker (it has its own spell checker), thus
Word or Office are not involved.

Care to tell us the exact wording of the update you see in Control
Panel/Programs and Features ?

Entry in the "Uninstall or change a program" listing in Control Panel:

Name: Windows Live Essentials 2011
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
Installed On: 16/04/2012
Size: [Unspecified}
Version: 15.4.3555.0308


The update popped up on the screen immediately I started Live Mail on that
day. From what I can remember it said "Windows Live Essentials 2011 has an
important update. Do you wish to install it?" or something like that. I said
yes, and the installation went flawlessly, and a restart of Live Mail was
needed on completion.

The entry in Help > About is at the end of this post.

The problems started the following day, and so far the crashes have occurred
when posting to Usenet (once), sending an email (once) and then last night
when sending to Usenet (once). This has never happened before in the 18
months I've had this computer. Strangely, although the program crashes
immediately on pressing the Send button, the send is executed and received
at the other end with no problems or mistakes.

Puzzling, and starting to become nuisance.

Thanks ...winston. I've done as you suggested and run the repair on WLE
2011. Seemed to go through alright, asked me restart Windows at the end of
it, and it wouldn't! Had to restart from the Start menu, and everything
appears to be OK. Will post back to this thread if anything goes wrong.

Thanks again.
