IE 11 works fine. I think in my case this may have been a video driver problem with Nvidia, not exactly sure, hopefully anyone with this problem can get IE 11 and Windows Live Mail now works fine.
Windows Update KB2670838 may affect Windows Live Mail on Windows 7

On 26 February, an update called a platform update was released through Windows Update to coincide with the release of Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7. IE10 requires this update, which 'improves the features and performance' of a number of display components. Some users have found that the update affects the display of Windows Live Mail. Other problems ranging from blank screen in Resource Manager to Blue Screen of Death have been reported by users who found that the problem went away if the update was uninstalled.
Here is one user's screenshot:
If you are seeing this problem with Windows Live Mail, the first thing to do is to check with your graphics card/computer manufacturer for updated display drivers. If you're already using the latest, you may have to uninstall the update until a remedy is found. To do so, open Windows Update in Control Panel and click on Installed updates in the bottom left-hand corner. Locate the update, select it and click Uninstall. If this update was installed along with IE10, IE10 will also be uninstalled. If you have automatic updates configured, you should hide the update so it doesn't install again.
It might be helpful to the product team if those affected posted a reply to this thread explaining the symptoms and giving the make and model of their computer and its graphics card.

2013-11-12T17:58:27+00:00 @stur2009 - If I may please ask, are you referring to a Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 mouse, or a Microsoft Wireless Bluetrack 5000 mouse?
My wife has the Wireless Desktop 3000 set, consisting of the Wireless 3000 Keyboard and the Microsoft 5000 mouse with BlueTrack Technology. The mouse has been giving her nothing but grief.
Tom
PS: I see this mouse is not offered on the Microsoft site any longer. Makes one wonder why.

@ stur2009 - So sorry, this ended uu on the wrong thread and I would like it deleted as it is not relevant. If you would kindly delete your reply, I will delete mine. ( Or perhaps a moderator can do this for us?)

KB2823483, Internet Explorer 10 does not install on some hybrid graphics systems, lists a number of computer models known to have problems.
One user has reported that installing new Intel HD graphics drivers solved this problem. For example, Intel® HD graphics Driver for Windows 7* and Windows 8* 64
NB: *"*This software driver package will install the Intel® HD Graphics driver for 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 3000/2000. These drivers will not function with any other product."
