Windows 7 Windows Live Mai errorl res://ieframe.dll/preview.js error

[oboedad55]

Hi, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Trying to print email from Windows Live Mail results always in this error:

Line: 295
Char: 1
Error:%1 is not a valid Win32 application
Code: 0
URL: res://ieframe.dll/preview.js

I've uninstalled/reinstalled the Mail program as well as the printer and driver. Printing works fine with everything else, including IE 9 64-bit. Any ideas?

This issue might be caused by a conflict between the Windows Live Mail application and the printer settings. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this problem:

Solutions for Error ' %1 is not a valid Win32 application' in Windows Live Mail:​

1. Set Your Default Browser:

     • Open Internet Explorer.
     • Go to Tools > Internet Options.
     • Under the Advanced tab, click on Reset.
     • Check the box to Delete personal settings and confirm.

   []Run Windows Live Mail as Administrator:
   • Right-click on the Windows Live Mail shortcut and select "Run as administrator". This can sometimes help resolve permission-related issues.
   []Check Printer Configuration:
   • Ensure that the correct default printer is set and the printer drivers are up to date. You mentioned reinstalling the printer and driver, but double-check to ensure they are installed correctly.
2. Disable Printer Hardware Acceleration:
   • Disable hardware acceleration in your printer settings.
