   Been far too long since I last used any version of WLM.  However, wasn't   
   it possible to option to show or not show the preview pane which is   
   where, I believe, you see the preview of attachments in an e-mail?   
      
   Are you running WLM as an administrator process?   
      
   In the Add/Remove Programs list, find WL Essentials, click on Uninstall,   
   and then Change which might offer a Repair option.  Else, use wlarp.exe   
   (should be under the C:\Program Files\Windows Live  folder).   
   You could also try Win+R to get the run dialog, and enter "wlarp".  I   
   don't know if the repair means losing your local POP message store, but   
   if you're using IMAP then the client syncs to the server, anyway.
