Windows Live Mail FAQ
Hello, I have been using Sky-Drive successfully/trouble free for over 1 year now and have about 4GB of files uploaded and 'synced' out of my 7GB allowance. Recently I got a message saying I had to update the software on my PC to continue. I duly did this but since doing so my tray icon is constantly saying "Processing Changes" (over 1 week now), the icons on my Sky Drive folders are sometimes green arrows (synced) and suddenly switch to two blue arrows (not synced) and on inspection most/all of my individual files are showing as not synced. In addition Sky Drive is suddenly taking up a lot of processor capacity and my PC is definitely running slower since the update. I have a Sony Vaio, with a core i5, plenty of RAM and disk space running Windows 7 Professional.
Can you offer any advice?
Thank-you, Mike
After that it could not go to next step.
Please help me.
This windows8 system must be the best advertisment for Apple I have come across!
it has taken 2 weeks to get this far.
first the new PC with supposedly pre installed Win8 on it would not recognise the internet modem therefor cant activate the system. cant establish an email account cant download needed software.
MANUFACTURER SAID FIT A NEW Mother board. never asked what errors I was getting, or what the problem was just wanted personal info and model no.
finally we found that by re installing windows8 twice we go it loaded uncorrupted and it actually went online woopeeee!
next we need to have a Microsoft account to be able to get an email set up . sounds easy
we have an email account with our National internet provider ..... nope windows wont accept other than Hotmail or live mail 'emails !!
oh but to have an Microsoft account you have to have an @outlook.com account....
fine, put that in add passwords and security verification codes 20 times
log out and log in again to check . nope wont accept the password then when we try to re create the unverified account just established it tells me it is already allocated ( yes to me but wont accept the log in )
ok modify the account email & get a new account
it then asks for a code to verify
sends the code to the email that I cant access because I don't have a Microsoft account..
being resourceful I start the dying old PC we are replacing get the code from there on the old email "outlook express" (great emailer too it was, but that 10yr old machine is sadly underpowered and takes an hour to boot up to the email)
return to the Win* machine enter the code . does it work NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
sorry temporary server problems come back later ,, I think it said I have a week to verify that I am not a robot hacking tool
now you want me to keep all my business and research and data stuff on a cloud ( someone else's mainframe) that is just as likely to be down when I want it.
please . make this whole future a little more user friendly or so help me MS will become a boat ANCHOR & APPLE THE COMPUTERS OF CHOICE
