    I went to the security settings on the Windows Mail folder to gain full control.

    This is the error I received:

    An error occurred while applying security information to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Mail
    Access is denied.

    Does it have something to do with the TrustedInstaller? I tried it a few times and in a different folder with no luck :cry Anyone have some idea's?

    Do you have administrator privileges?

    I hope so, this is my PC, nobody else has access.

    To check, and if you're using Windows XP, go to:
    Start>Control Panel>User Accounts
    Over on the right of the panel that opens, see if it says Limited Account or Computer Administrator

    If you're not using XP, the instructions will be different.
