Hello,
Normally use the messenger service from outlook.com. Now, when I click on the messenger icon at the top right of the page I only receive a message saying signing in. The service never signs in. On a side note it is not working from my Windows Phone either. I have already checked the status.live.com and it says everything is running normally. I have also signed out and back in and deleted all cookies to the browser.
Thanks for the help.
I am trying to install Office 2013 on a Windows 8.1 PC.
In the process I had to create an outlook.com account as I did not want to use my Hotmail account. (Very maddening.)
I did not want to enter my birthday, (also very maddening) so I entered today's date.
So, the outlook.com account was created as a child account. (Very, very maddening.)
I cannot log into it to change it or delete it without an adult giving permission. (Very, very, very maddening.)
I refuse to incur a $0.50 charge to claim the account as my account.
Can we just delete the account?
Thanks!

Using SkyDrive on 3 PC's (Dell XPS2720; Surface Pro; HPd5100t Desktop) all updated to Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit from same Win 8 versions along with Lumina 920 Win 8 phone.
In Change PC settings; all features are set to synch across all PC's with exception of Themes due to size of photo files used for background. SkyDrive synch problem has repeated a 2nd time on the Dell since update on 17th. Understand the icon with 2-clockwise pointing blue arrows when viewing in Windows Explorer directory/folder tree and always wait until file upload/download completes before attempting to open same file on a different PC.
SkyDrive works as expected on the Surface Pro; HP desktop and Windows Phone. Files "available offline" on Dell & HP; "available online" on Surface Pro. After a complete clean 2nd reinstall of the OS on the Dell, SkyDrive functioned normally for the past couple of days, when again, files (Excel) that were changed and saved on the HP & Surface Pro would no longer synch (download) on the Dell. Upload/Download icon in Explorer for both the files and folders being synched remain on and process never starts nor completes. Multiple PC shut downs-reboots have no effect on synch process.
When my SkyDrive account is viewed in outlook.com; recent files show latest versions with correct GMT time stamps. Only one that doesn't is again the Dell which shows the last versions before file changes made on the other PC's or Windows Phone.
How can or do I get the files on the Dell to re-synch to the latest changed versions so I can again access/work with/save (without getting the read-only or file doesn't exist message) as I should be able to. Secondly, how do I prevent this from occurring again on this one PC.
Appreciate any and all help with this.

A MESSAGE TO OTHER USERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE
My contacts don't appear to be syncing properly in a number of ways:
- I've linked my LinkedIn account to my Outlook.com account. There are some LinkedIn contacts that don't synchronize with Outlook.com (most do sync). Why would certain contacts not sync?
- When syncing with Windows 8.1 Pro, there are some contacts that don't sync with the People app. The same contacts sync just fine with my Windows Phone and other devices (Android, iPhone, etc). Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
