• When I try to open Windows Mail, I get a message saying that it cannot be opened because it is already running.

  original title: Windows Mail stop working

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Mail has stopped working. When I try to open it, I get a message saying that Windows Mail cannot be opened because another instance of it is already running.  (the same manager thought of tasks shows no mail running Windows).

  I tried to restart my computer several times. I tried running Windows update that tries to install Internet Explorer but I get an error code 5.  My antivirus software is up-to-date.  Can anyone help? I miss my Windows Mail :(

  Try to go to start | Search and type in msconfig and then disable the startup items and reboot and see if you get the same error.  It could be due to interference antivirus.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 you can also try compacting and repairing the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/), but I don't think that is the issue because another program seems to be from WinMail.  It could also be due to Windows Search indexing messages, so if you have it turned on, then go to control panel | Filtering options (I think it's location) and delete WinMail indexing courses.

  Hi Jon0909,

  The error that you received can be for several reasons. I suggest you try the following steps:

  Method 1: Run the fixit available in the link below and check if that makes a difference

  Tips for solving problems of USB devices

  Method 2: This normal matter as a result of a conflict between the USB and other USB (Universal Serial Bus) connected to the computer.

  (a) disconnect all the external devices connected to the computer to expect the mouse and keyboard, check if your USB key works.

  (b) If this solves the problem, and then add back both devices until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.

  If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the device for any known issues
