Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

Restore point:

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    My Windows Mail does not open.  It gives me a message saying, ' Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE. " DLL could not be loaded. "How can I fix in order to regain access to my e-mail address?

    The only other thing I can suggest is to back up and then delete the following registry keys:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail

    I start with the first and then see if it works.  If this isn't the case, then delete them both.

    When clicking on an attachment that ends with .pdf, I get an error message saying that there is no program assigned to this file type and head to "Define the Associations" in the Panel.  The problem I have is that the control panel for the Windows Vista operating system has assigned to this type of file Adobe and I have no way to access a control panel just for Windows Mail independently.  When you set the 'association '?

  • I moved my windows mail contacts place and now I can't find them. I get the message the file MSOE. DLL could not be initialized. Windows Mail does not open.

    I was exploring the information about "move your files and user files to another partition" I'm a little short on space.   I chose the location tab in my Contacts Properties window to have a look at the possibilities of some of my folders move to another partition on my computer.   However, I clicked obviously wrong, and now I got a message that the file MSOE. DLL could not be initialized.   I tried the system restore, but no restore points are available to me before today.  Are there jobs that I can do?

    Under your username must be a Contacts folder.   If there is a step, and then either move the new Contacts folder to where he was, or create a new folder under the user name, and then see if it works then.  So if you have a username of 'Heather' contacts should be under C:\Users\Heather\Contacts.  Try and then see if it works very well.  Otherwise, you will need to create a new user and then try to get this to work.
