Windows Live Mail 2011 not displaying emails

Windows live mail 2011 will show that I have new emails and when I go to click on them it would normally show the message in the preview window. Instead, it shows nothing, just blank. I noticed by cursor has an hourglass next to it too. I actually tried double clicking the message to open it in a new window and it still displays a blank email. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Im running win 7 64-bit

Try updating to the 2013 version: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/essentials-other-programs
I tried Mail when it was released in 2011 and hated it, I never got it to retrieve messages. Use thunderbird if the 2013 version still doesnt work, it is much simpler and is open source .

I just uninstalled and reinstalled it and it appears to be working fine now......weirrrrrd!

I recommend you upgrade to 2013, nice new features. When you uninstall and reinstall it updates components that is why.
