  1. Windows Live Mail won't display messages


    When I go to my inbox, all the messages are there, but I can't see the body of them. This message is all that shows up:

    Message could not be displayed
    Windows Live Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.



    I do not have low disk space, or low memory, and I tried restarting things and logging in and out again. All of a sudden I can't read any of my emails. I can't find a fix online.

    :)
