When I setup my Surface 2 - an outstanding product btw), I accidently used my old Microsoft account.
(I have 2 accounts because accounts are bound to a country and you can never change the country.
But I moved out, I needed an account for the new country I lived in, so I opened a second account, which became my primary account)
Then I redeemed the 2 years 200GB free code on skydrive.com/surface
Unfortunately the site did not ask for which account I wanted to redeem the 200GB so it was put on my old account.
A few hours later while having trouble to set up Skype, I finally see that I used my old account while setting up the Surface 2.
Therefore I add my true primary account to the surface 2 as administrator, resetup everything and delete the old account from the Surface 2.
Then I discover that the 200GB subscription went to the old account.
I contacted Microsoft to change/transfer the free 2 year subscription to the new account - and I can think of many ways to make it happen - but Microsoft refused, told me to contact the department store where I bought the Surface 2, even when I told them that
the code was in the Surface box and that it was independent of where a Surface is bought.
In short I find such lack of flexibility on the part of Microsoft extremely unfortunate, to say the least. I thought the cloud was all about agility and convenience.
So not being able to transfer the subscription, is there a technical workaround that would enable me somewhow to link both Skydrive accounts, so that I could use the space without having to constantly sign out/sign in?
My husband and I created several groups to share things with friends and family. At this time we are unable to turn on group email options for three of our groups. Is this a glitch? We both tried to change the email settings on the groups but so far nothing works.
Thanks

I can only add one file at a time as an attachment to an email in outlook whereas i used to be able to add multiple files in one go. this is something that has just started to happen in the last couple of days.
dont know what to do to fix it.
problem is on 2 different email accounts (including this one) on pc using windows vista home basic
tried to upload multiple files on same email accounts on different pc using windows 7 home premium and it worked
looks as if some changes/updates done in last couple of days that do not work in vista . this may well be related to the problem i asked about yesterday (slideshow not working)
