"A problem has occurred while trying to open this message."

In the last 24hrs I have been unable to open a new email or reply to anything I have received. When I click on  new message, or try to reply to one I get the following from Live drive " A problem has occurred while trying to open this message. A problem has occurred. Please try again."  I am receiving everything perfectly well and the problem? seems to be in my computer not with the server as it won't even let me open anything let alone send anything. Any answers for this one?  I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled it but to no avail! I have run an AV scan and done some maintainence. Everything else seems to be working fine. This has only happened in the last 24 hours.

    I seem to have solved the problem !!!! First I checked for updates and

    downloaded the important one that hadn’t yet been installed.  Then opened the

    “default programs” in the start menu and at the bottom left hand side, clicked

    on “programs and features” then right click on “Windows Essentials 2012”, bit

    scary because the message was” uninstall/change”, but I thought “Nothing

    ventured ...” and clicked on it and had choice of uninstall or repair, I chose

    repair, left it to do it’s work then rebooted  and  all seems back to

    normal.....

    I have completely given up and am looking at another email program.  Microsoft's solution to me was:  Buy Outlook.  NOT!
