Rebuild Database

Running XP SP3 and ZWindows Live Mail for email

Computer Locked while WLM was receiving messages in background. Had to hard
reboot. When computer came back up tried to restart WLM. Got a message WLM
needs to rebuild the database, a few seconds later message that WLM need to
shut down. Whether you click yes or no to send info to microsoft program just
shuts down.

Tried:

1 - Repair WLM through the control panel remove programs option.
2 - Removed all WL components and reinstalled newest version from microsoft
website.
3 - Repaired that version through the control panel also.
4 - Ran both Registery Mechanic and RegCure

All just result in same 2 messages. All other programs operating correctly I
believe.

If anyone has suggestions I would appreciate the help. I have my
messages/contacts/accounts all backed up as this was done on 3/2/09 so loss
of that is not a issue.

Thanks,
Rich Moran

 

Thank you Peter,

When I do that I get:

Recovering the WLM Database in upper left and then in Middle:

WLM could not be started. The application was unable to open WLM message
store. WLM was unable to locate its message data base. If you have moved the
database files to a new location click OK to reset the database path to that
location. Otherwise click cancel to proceed, any existing messages found will
be available under Orphaned Accounts. (0x000000000.2)

Then regardless whether you choose OK or cancel:

Windows live Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open
WLM message store. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk full.
(0x8000FFFF,1400)

I have 4 gigs of memory and 298 gig open on the discs.

Thanks agin for your efforts.

 

Peter,

That got it to reopen but I did have to run the WLM download removal program.

Thanks for all your efforts and help.

Best Regards,
