windows live mail

HP Touchsmart IQ800

Every time I start Windows Live Mail I get a message about the calendar being corrupt. (0x8E5E0247)

This only started when sevice pack 1 installed.

There was a patch on HP.com before but now I cant find it.

Please can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Laurence

Hi Laurence,

Just to be sure, are you using Windows 7?

Thanks,

Do you know if you have Intel Rapid Storage Technology Software installed?  I found some people that had a similar problem on a Microsoft support forum...

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/windows-live-messeng...

The user named "`§ansaL~" seems to have found the answer.  It's like the 7th or 8th reply down on that page.

"Anyone recieving the 8E5E0247 Error trying to login to Windows Live Msgr and/or Windows Update who has an INTEL processor & Hard Drive over 300Gb must install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Software."

He gives a link to download the software but that link is no longer valid.

A quick search for "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" brings up this page where you can specify the OS and download it.

Let me know if that works...

Brilliant!!!

It worked, thanks very much for your help.

I find live mail much better than outlook, or did till it stopped working, now I can use it again.

Thanks
