Question about Outlook Express

I imported my Contacts from an older computer to my new one.  I ended up with almost every contact being duplicated.  I have used the "Clean Up Contacts" button several times already.  Each time, I get thrown out of Windows Live Mail and onto a web page called "People". The duplicate contacts get removed on the "People" web page, but back in my own copy of W@indows Live Mail they are still there.  Why does the "Clean up Contacts" button lead me to some other place instead of cleaning up the contacts on my own computer?  And how can I clean up the duplicates on my computer?   I don't see any "Sync" button to synchronize my local list with the list that is online.

By the way, the online list seems to have something to do with Outlook.com, or at least so it appears when I try to click on the Help link there.  That seems like a weird connection to Outlook.  I don't use Outlook.  I use Windows Live Mail.  Microsoft seems to offer no help for Windows Live Mail.  How can one trust a company that offers no support for its own products?

After upgrading I found an anomaly with the "Sounds" associated.

In 8.1 the sounds were "hidden" under the "MailBeep" keys in Regedit.  The sounds applet did not accept custom sounds in the "Desktop Mail Notification" event.

In some builds of WPTP the Sounds translated.  When I upgraded to WIN 10 (10240) the registry correctly tracked my custom sounds.

With this build the sounds reverted to "Windows Notify Email." So I manually set the values under the "MailBeep" key.

I used this "script" (file.reg for example) to change back to my preference.  Substitute your custom sound for "Mail2.wav"

Be sure to create a restore point before working with Regedit!

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERAppEventsSchemesApps.DefaultMailBeep.Current]
@="C:\Windows\Media\mail2.wav"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERAppEventsSchemesApps.DefaultMailBeep.Default]
@="C:\Windows\Media\mail2.wav"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERAppEventsSchemesApps.DefaultMailBeepCustom]
@="C:\Windows\media\Mail2.wav"

There may be other older sound schemes.

HTH.

I use Windows 7 and Windows live mail. I have received a side show via email and each photo # is listed in the text as DSC-001.jpg; DSC-002.jpg; etc.

I have not discovered how to copy these photos to my PC

Hi team,

I Can't start Windows Live family Safety because UXCore.dll is missing from computer.

This happened after upgrade to Windows 10 and revert back to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

I reverted back to Windows 7 because I didn't like the way windows 10 handled Family safety.

I have already performed clean uninstall using "c:program files (x86)windows liveinstallerwlarp.exe" /cleanup:all /q.

I have uninstalled several times.

After above clean uninstall I have re-installed using windows essentials offline installer at this link http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/essentials

I have re-installed several times.

This has not worked and I Still get the error that uxcore.dll is missing.

I have also used other uninstallers to perform a clean uninstall. No luck.

I have deleted the Windows Live Folders from program files and also registry keys and performed uninstall and reinstall with no luck.
Is it possible for support to provide the file so i can just place it in the directory.

Thank you.

I am starting to use the Calendar function on my Windows Mail to block out room nights for my bed and breakfast.  The color of  the display is a light blue, which does not show up well when I print it for staff.  Is there any way to change the color setting of the display (I would even be happy with black and white if it prints okay).

Thank you.

John
