I backed up to the best of my knowledge all my email files in appdata window live mail and then went about uninstalling all windows live essentials programs and regedit deleted the windows live mail.
Then I installed a new instance of Essentials and imported all my files into Live Mail. It is tedious work, but I am doing some much needed cleanup of my folders.
The computer is running much smoother right now.
If I run in to anything soon I will post back here, or start a new post in the Microsoft section.
Thanks a bunch!
