I set up a Hotmail account for my Father on Christmas Day so he could register his new Kindle, and set up an amazon account. When i tried to log in to his emails today its saying the Microsoft Account does not exist??

But when logging into amazon the email address i set up for him works fine! 

So the spelling is correct, its only been active 2 days, and i tried logging in today?

Please help as this makes no sense

   I HAVE A NEW HP LAPTOP (upgraded to Windows10) AND I'M TRYING TO SET UP EVERYTHING THROUGH MY MICROSOFT ACCOUNT.  I ESTABLISHED A NEW PASSWORD ON MY ACCOUNT (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) BECAUSE I'VE FORGOTTEN MY OLD WINDOWS LIVE PASSWORD.  HOWEVER, TO CONTINUE IT IS ASKING ME (ONE LAST TIME) FOR MY OLD WINDOWS LIVE PASSWORD - THIS IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE THE ONLY REASON I CHANGED MY PASSWORD IS BECAUSE I DIDNT KNOW MY OLD ONE - WHAT CAN I DO?

Lately ive had trouble adding files to movie maker, which were .avi files recorded with fraps, which i later found out that fraps was the problem. Since then, Ive started using shadowplay and videos from a twitch stream. Although now I can actually add in the videos, after a short period of time (usually spent cutting the videos into small parts so that I can type in subtitles), eventually the videos stop moving properly and only the audio is left, then they turn into black screens, and then they are replaced with the the yellow caution sign and wont play at all. When I click on them i get the error message "Do you want to remove BLANK from this project? The file might be corrupted or in a file that Movie Maker does not recognize. This movie cant be saved or published until BLANK is removed from the project. Error: 0x87160139" Although it says it cant be saved, I can save the file just fine, and the problem is solved once I restart Movie Maker and reopen the project. But it happens again only a few minutes later, and it is very inconvenient and slow to have to restart Movie Maker every few minutes. The videos play just fine, although media player wont work at all, so I have to use VLC player instead.

I have Windows Live Essential 2012 installed on my desktop and Windows Live Essentials 2011 installed on my Acer Aspire One 11" netbook. I have been reading about the updates to Windows Live Mail that you will need to do in order to continue to use it. I have Outlook.com that I use for email usually and it is really all I need I believe. I used Windows Live Mail sometimes if it had an option that I did not find on the old HOT MAIL. I don't believe I need Windows Live Mail anymore. When the change comes about with OUTLOOK I am thinking of just uninstalling Windows Live Mail. I believe it is part of Windows Live Essentials. Will most people just stop using Windows Live Mail and uninstall it and keep Photo Gallery. It looks like ESSENTIALS will be gone as I believe MESSENGER is now SKYPE? What will happen to PHOTO GALLERY, MOVIE MAKER and LIVE WRITER? Gone?

Thank you,

I am trying to delete duplicate contacts from my list.  I have disabled all google, skype, etc. accounts.  I still have duplicate contacts in my list.  When I try to delete them the delete line is grayed out and won't let me do this.  I have over 4000 addresses in my list and should only have about 1000.  Is there a way to do this?   Can I actually close my windows live account and create a new one and then import contacts???

I am transferring from OE on XP, to WLM on W8.1.  In OE, the send/receive button has a pull-down menu offering just Receive All, or Send All.  Is there a way of doing just one or the other in WLM?  It's sometimes useful...

Had Desktop and Laptop set up With windows 7 and Live Mail. Laptop crashed so had to reset to factory config and reload all.

Calendars don't sync. Desktop has calendar name Dc.rr(cmarshall) based on old email provider. Now with verizon but calendar name did not change with new email accounts. Laptop reload established new calendar name Verizon(annmar3). How can I get the desktop calendar on the laptop and get them to sync ? Must the default accounts be the same on both machines?

Split from this thread.

I am running OS 8.1 with Outlook with Windows Live Mail 2012.

If I download this new version of the Outlet mail that I am asked to do to continue e mail service what can I expect with this new program?

What will I loose?

What will I gain?

What will it do with my live mail 2012 version?

Will I be getting a bunch of advertising along with my mail?

Finally, I am thinking of going to OS 10 later, will I have to make more changes if and when I do change operating systems?

My reason for changing operating systems later is I only want one set of problems at a time.

Thanks

I am using Windows Live email within win10.  I've had no issues, but since yesterday, I've gotten no email from my msn account.

I have no issues with the Hotmail or outlook account.  I get no errors when sending/receiving; just no mail, even when I send to self.

Online I do have mail, just not in the Windows Lives email application.
