Windows 7 help

[<-Rinky-Dink->]

Hi all,

Can anyone help me please? I run an HP laptop using Windows 7. Everything running perfectly except for Windows Live Mail where the icons are huge and the colours all peculiar. Does anyone know how I can restore this particular program back to its factory settings please? (Answers in a noddy guide .. or I won't understand )

Many thanks.

It 'could be' that your version of Win Live Mail is out of date and not totally compat with Windows 7? I really don't know as I don't use Live Mail.

But here is a link to the 2011 version:

Thanks Ali ... what if I uninstall Windows Live Mail, and then download the version you have suggested above?

This laptop was only bought at Christmas ... so everything should be update and compatable. I am wondering if our little cat has
wandered over the keyboard and pressed something..........

Just download it, it will update automatically, no need to de-install etc

Worth a try x

;D

You'll need to ensure everything is regularly updated ...... altho purchased at Christmas the initial install could be months before and now we're into the 8 month ......... so you probably have a few updates to catch up on

Thanks Wibble ... but my updates are all up-to-date. The system is scanned weekly for viruses and other nasties, I carry out all the maintenance stuff once a month, and updates are installed as soon as they come in.

By default, I have managed to cure the problem. I pressed the
f2 key by accident and it gave me an option to extend the reading pane. I accepted the option, and hey presto, its back to normal!

So thanks everyone for your help and advice ... very much appreciated. I'm a happy little bunny now!!!!
