I'm running Vista Ultimate and a few weeks back I had a message in my INBOX where it said "Message Could Not Be Displayed" in the preview plane. I also could not delete it.

Now I have a few in my DELETED ITEMS folder than also cannot be deleted. And when I select Empty "Deleted Items" Folder - nothing happens - even to the files I can individually delete.

Any ideas on what is going on and how to fix this?

Re-install your Vista disk and reboot your system, when it says "install disk" press the "enter" key. Now when you see the "install" icon, look down to the left of your screen and you will see "repair" click on this and follow the on screen instructions, if you need to select any thing make sure that it relates to your hdd, then when all is done it will auto-reboot then go into your e-mail and try again to delete your e-mails.
Hope this helps you.

Please post back if you have more problems or questions.
