When I try to set up accounts on various websites, I get an error message saying my email address is invalid. How can I fix this?

I'm using Family Safety Filter and am running into a usability problem. Older members of the household will turn the filter off to temporarily allow unfettered access either for themselves, or to grant temporary access to a otherwise forbidden site (e.g. youtube). They then forget to turn the filter back on. 

Is there a setting I haven't found to allow the filter to be disabled temporarily? 

Given that no password is requested when turning the filter on, can the filter be started from the command line, so that I could attach it to a scheduled task?

I appreciate any suggestions.

Mail was working fine. But suddenly it won't update to the correct date. Tells me its sync'd, but it's days behind. Any ideas?

I have 6 identical HP machines in my office network all running Windows 8.  They have all been running Windows Essentials 2012 for the last 2 years, for Email, Calendar, and Contacts with no problems.  All machines are using the same *** Email address is removed for privacy *** account.  Recently one of the machines quit Displaying contacts. It will download the email headers but when you try to open the email it says there was a problem with the email.  You can login to other Hotmail accounts on this machine in essential mail and everything works properly.  On all my other machines when logged into essentials the account photo show up in the signed in area but not on this one machine, with this one account.  I have uninstalled, and re installed.  Deleted any associated registry keys. and still no luck.  Any Ideas?

I had been using Outlook Express in XP Mode for some time. I have had to switch to Windows Live Mail and the contact list there. Some of the people on my current contact list in WLMail are no longer there and/or (in one case) is deceased. In Outlook Express an address book was used for placing e-mail addresses in singly and in groups.

I have not been able to determine if Windows Live Mail has an address book in which to do this. IF it does, where do I find it and/or how do I access it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. - I'm not sure if I'm getting this into the correct group. Would the moderator please see that it is place where it belongs. Thnk you.

Moved to windows live mail

When I open Google Chrome, one tab opens up as usual.  But when I click on a link within an email I received (Windows Live Mail), multiple tabs open up in Google Chrome.  I've tried going into Google Chrome settings, on startup, and selecting the three different bubble options and that doesn't help.  I've gone into extensions and no problem there.  I've run several malware programs and that doesn't help.

Various searches indicated that either Virus or Firewall was causing the problem I have tried stopping each of them individually and even all at once with out any success.
