Incredimail Problem - Please Help!

[Ranch]

[sorry if this is in the wrong board..I have XP so I decided it should go here ]

Anyhoo...I booted up as normal earlier, and Incredimail wouldn't start, I kept getting a runtime error box. I uninstalled it and installed it again from incredimail.com - It installed as normal and I went to open it from my desktop, nothing came up. I tried a few times, then browsed for help on google and found nothing. So i right clicked on it and clicked 'Run As' When I ran it like that, an error box saying:

Could not load application skin (or one of its components).

Is there anyway I can fix this, help would be great

[^_^]

best thing about incredimail is that it has no recovery feature when windows crashes

so don't us incredimail cuz it sucks

that's all the help I know.

however, you may be able to uninstall it, then use a program like regcleaner to clean all the crap out of the windows registry, then try to reinstall it again

post from another section, but need to know!

WHOAH !!!!!!!

Not surprising, Incredimail is back. I'm finding that since it's certicied by MS, many antispyware programs overlook it. But it doesn't have an uninstall, causes pop-ups to install for every user at every login and here's the kicker.... Please pass this along! Here's an paragraph from incredimail's privacy policy (EULA):

I agree with the others - "Incredimail sucks" - and IMHO, there are plenty of better mail clients if you dont like OE / Outlook.

The only thing I can suggest is if you have bought it, is to call their technical support...if its the free version, get rid of it - its bound to contain some sort of spyware hehe

If you really want to use it tho, try uninstalling it cmpletely again (if it asks to keep the user files or something similar, say no - you will probably have to remove every trace of it in order to use it again) and then try looking through the hard drive to find folders where its files may still be looking.

- C:\Documents and settings\<yourusername>\Local Settings\Application Data\Incredimail

- C:\Documents and settings\<yourusername>\Application Data\Incredimail

- C:\Program Files\Incredimail

are a few places to look.

I couldn't tell you where to look in the registry but they may have more information on their website - I'm not gonna look on their site as no doubt, I'll get attacked by spyware lol

Good luck.
