My laptop recently updated windows 10 (I think #1909) on it's own. After the update, my Windows Live Mail quit working. It downloads the message headers/titles, so I know it's connecting to the gmail server, but when I try to open the message, I get the error, "Message Can't be Displayed. Windows live mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or disk space and try again." I have plenty of memory and disk space. Thanks for any suggestions! (And yes, I know I should go to a newer email client, but I have too much wrapped up in Windows Live and just want to fix it!) Rick
