I hope this simple solution to a rather annoying problem that worked for me will help you too. If you need help, you can always visit us on our Windows Help Forum.If you are using Windows Live Mail, you may encounter the following error message:
Now I have launched my Windows Live Messenger – and v iola – no more Please wait … ! The problem was solved! Right click it> Permissions> Set them this way> Click Apply / OK – and you will also see some new settings appear in the registry. Now you should make sure the permissions for the key are : I pasted in the path to the registry key and clicked Apply. New ownership has been established. So I downloaded our free RegOwnIt freeware program , which makes it easy and quick to get ownership and control of registry keys. So I logged out of Windows Live Mail, opened the Windows registry and went to that key. I tried to open it and change its permissions. But I could not and received the following messages: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ So I looked around the internet and found that there was no confirmed and working help anywhere for this particular problem, although it appears to be a common problem.

Now, every time I rebooted my Windows, I got this message – and it was pretty annoying to wait one or two minutes. So I decided to repair the WLM. This does not work. A fresh install seemed like the only option. I exported my mail and settings, uninstalled WLM, reinstalled WLM and imported back my mail and settings. Now I can send new letters!Įverything looked great – until I rebooted and received the message: Please wait while Windows configures Windows Live Mail I faced the same problem again when I rebooted my computer, launched Windows Live Mail and tried to send a new email! Failed to initialize canvas I tried to update WLM many times, got the same error and then returned “System Restore” to get an earlier version. This time, I decided to dare the upgrade process once again by updating Windows Live Mail Version 2011 to Build. I still haven’t found a solution to this error! While I love using Windows Live Mail on my Windows 7, updating has never been a pleasure for me.I stopped updating Windows Live Mail 2011 to the latest version a long time ago, for the simple reason that whenever I did it and rebooted, I couldn’t reply or send a new email and got an error – unable to initialize canvas.
