Dear friends,
I've win XP PRO SP2 with 512 mb RAM, celeron D, 2.66Ghz.

Today i installed Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta from Digit CD. After installing i got this error message: Starting Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta for the first time requires an online connection. Please connect to the internet and then try again. (0x80048883)

After clicking on <OK> button, this error message:

Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta could not be started because msmail.dll could not be initialized. Windows Live Mail Desktop may not be installed correctly.

I tried to uninstall and then run registry cleaner and re-installed again but same error message.
My outlook express working fine..... now help me.........

reply soon.........

U can try one thing!

Search for "msmail.dll" file into ur computer and when u find it, just give following command:

regsvr32 path_of_the_file

e.g., regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\msmail.dll

Recently I faced the same problem in Vista and I found that it was due to slow dial-up connection. When I connected my laptop to broadband connection, it didnt give any error and started without any problem. :)

Hey! i'm new here, and logged in only for to say your that if your are in user account different to the administrator, you need to right clic on the short cut of wlm and select "run as" (ejecutar como...) and select the administrator account and type the password (the administrator account needs a password) after that the wlm is opened...

It's a problem , because you need to use the Administrator account...

Tanks! i'm trying the wlm but i prefer to enter to the web site of my mail, because when a new mail is received it dont notify me... and is very slow downloading messages.,... :mad:
