FILE COPY CORRUPTION on Windows XP x64 PRO ?!?!?

You did notice that I said Windows Mail from Vista. I did not use the
Windows Mail that comes with Windows 7, as it is dysfunctional.

Just copy the Windows Mail folder from a Vista installation to a thumb
drive. In Windows 7, rename the existing Windows Mail folder to Windows Mail
old. Then copy the Vista version into the Program Files (x86) folder. Create
a shortcut of the .exe where you wish it to be. Then start using Windows
Mail.

If you have a 64 bit version of Windows 7 it would help to copy "both" the
32 bit and the 64 bit versions from Vista and place them in their respective
folders within Windows 7. I am using the 64 bit version from Vista at this
moment!

Richard:
Thanks for the reply. The installation worked, I now have WM and WLM
side by side.

Yes, Richard. So have I. But it's _not_ a supported scenario, and one I
prefer to let folks find on their own.

Now, if I could get it to work cleanly in Server 2008 R2, I'd be a happy
camper. But still getting minor annoyances I haven't sorted yet.

I would rather have it unsupported and working than supported and not! (-:

It was memory corruption

Bye,
Skybuck.

Remember what my first two comments were? "Single bit RAM, no ECC".

I wonder if Microsoft Windows Update does a CRC32 check after applieing
updates to be sure no corruption occured ?!? (Or any other detection for
that matter? Or maybe even error correcting codes ?! )

Also failing that how could I verify that my windows is now not corrupt ?!?

Maybe some "microsoft windows comparision service" might be nice... at least
for when the system is functioning correctly and is recovering from a
corruption issue !

Bye,
Skybuck.
