It apparently has something to do with their incessant "security updates" I imagine and would explain why it ONLY affects THEIR programs. Note: Running a scan using Windows Security Essential picked up NO problems. In any case, removing it solved the problem. How this program got installed on my computer I have NOT a clue because I am very leery and careful about ANY program being installed in my PC, because of past nightmares. I uninstalled it and ALL worked instantly fine. It is titled "Intel Matrix Storage Console". It was installed on the 7th, the day before yesterday! There was indeed a new program loaded into my PC that I had NOTHING to do with. I felt the notion to go into Control panel and see if there was ANY program that was insalled in the last several days. Input your display name, email address, and password for outbound messages. Start the Add your email accounts wizard by pressing Ctrl + Shift + T while viewing your list of messages.

It seemed to affect ONLY Microsoft programs.Īfter many hours of fruitless trials and errors and trying EVERY thing I could think of, my prayers were answered. To set up an IMAP for your Windows Live Mail, follow these steps: 1. (Yet I had NO problem in launching Yahoo Messenger, etc). NOT only was I not able to launch Windows live messenger, I found I could not update Windows 7, NOR could I update Windows Security Essentials either. Damn them!Įverything has worked fine for the past 6 months or so.


Then went through the agony of Microsoft auto installing 200+ "updates", that took over 2 weeks to install properly BEFORE the computer would settle down and work right. I had to format the HDD and reload the original OS (Windows 7 upgraded to professional).
