Windows 10: Windows Live Mail cannot display message after Windows 10 update

My laptop recently updated windows 10 I think #1909 on it's own. After the update, my Windows Live Mail quit working. It downloads the message headers/titles, so I know it's connecting to the gmail server, but when I try to open the message, I get the error, "Message Can't be Displayed. Windows live mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or disk space and try again." I have plenty of memory and disk space. Thanks for any suggestions! And yes, I know I should go to a newer email client, but I have too much wrapped up in Windows Live and just want to fix it! Rick

Windows Live Emerges from Beta

After a trickle of updates and "betas", Microsoft Corp. is ready to start promoting its official package of free desktop programs for e-mail, instant messaging, blogging and sharing photos. The programs are "essentially a free upgrade for Windows," said Brian Hall, general manager of Windows Live at Microsoft. The package includes Windows Live Mail client, which should replace the old and integrated Outlook Express. The package also includes Windows Live Photo Gallery, Live Writer for writing blog posts, and the Live Messenger instant-messaging software. The applications aren't much different from test versions previously available.
