Hi Kevin. If you go to http;//get.live.com, you should be able to download it directly from that site and install over your existing copy. Make sure that all Live Essentials like Messenger and Mail are closed before updating and that Internet Explorer is also closed, though the program will probably prompt you to close those programs it needs to update anyway. Good luck. All the best, Ibrahim.

I keep Windows up-to-date by installing updates, however the one for Windows Live Essentials is not being installed as part of the Windows updating process. Grateful for any advice on how to update Windows Live Mail please. Many thanks, Kevin
