BIG BLACK HOLE in WLM!

I don't know any other way to describe it. I installed WLM today and this is
what I see:

I've tried uninstalling it, downloading a new copy of the installation file
and reinstalling but I still get this beautiful sight.

Any ideas? Right now this is completely useless.

 

For now, can I suggest you look at pjs 's post from yesterday where it seems
a small number of folks are having graphics issues.

As I suggested there can you try to down-change display resolution/refresh
rate and post back?

 

No change. It looks exactly the same.

 

okely, dokely....

 

Man, I hope this can be worked out. I'd really like to give this application
a try.

 

Folks are trying to fix this I'm sure - so just hang tight. I don't have any
new ideas at the moment.

But it will get sorted. Could take a while though...

Any info on your set-up (graphics card etc) might help.

 

Install yer Windows updates.

 

I very much doubt it's anything to do with WU.

 

Good observation from that image. I installed this month's updates earlier
today, shortly after I captured that image. And, of course, it had no effect

 

John,

Can you give us more information about your system to help us track this
down?
- What OS are you running?
- What is your video card information?
- Do you have any programs installed that do special things with graphics?
For example, Window Blinds or TweakUI?

Thanks,
Stacey

 

NO problem. I'm running WinXP Home on a Compaq Presario 2204US laptop, I
uninstalled Window Blinds over a year ago and I'm not running TweakUI. I
cannot find a video card listed. The only thing I can give you about the
video card is this:

Has this been resolved yet? How often to they post new builds? ANd when will
it get out of BETA?

 

Did you try the registry hack that seemed to solve this type of problem for
other affected users? Under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail there
should be a DWORD value called Tree with data 1 - it was set to 0 for some
who reported the same error you were seeing.

Yes, that fixed it!!! Awesome! I'm so jazzed! Thanks!!!
