I have install windows essential 2012, but I noticed that it is the same as Windows Live Essential 2011 !

 

What is the difference and what is new in 2012?

 

I am running windows 7 SP1 with 4 G ram and an intel I5 processor and direct X 11 Ihave downloaded windows essential from the web and it appears to have installed OK. The programs  i.e. messenger etc are itemised in the start menu. However when I click on any of the Essential programs there is a brief pause while windows searches? for the program and then nothing else happens. None of the Essential programns will respond. Twice I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programs and also checked if the firewall is blocking the application. I have wasted much time and effort on this problem.

Hi,

 

I am having problem signing in to the Windows Messenger via the Windows Live Messenger application on my laptop. An error code 8e5e0247 was shown when the sign in process fail.

 

However, I am still able to sign in to my messenger via the internet based service using a browser.

 

The following are the configuration of my laptop,

 

- Asus F8SN laptop

- Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

- Windows Live Messenger, Live Mail (Windows Essential 2012)

- Intel Centrino T8300

- 3GB RAM

 

I had tried to uninstalled and reinstalled the entire Windows Essential 2012 suite, but the poblem still persists.

 

Please do advice the solution to this problem.

 

Thank you

I loaded Messenger from Windows Live Essential.  I am using Windows 7.

When I first logged I could not speak to my contacts.  I can now talk to them but when I wanted to change the sounds I find they are all named in chinese !   Nothing else on my computer is so why and how can this be resolved.

 

Thank you

I have the same problem.I was unable to open Windows Live Mail. A message came up that I needed to update to Windows Live Essential. I did this and Windows Live Mail opens and receives emails but |I am unable to reply to any or to create new emails. The system just gives me a huge page of 'computer gobble de guke' containing several error messages. I have tried System Restore to go back to where I used to be and then it wont let me open Windows Live Mail again. If I uninstall Windows Live Essentials will the system go back to where it used to be with Windows Live Mail working again and will I keep all my emails and contacts or will I loose them all when I uninstall Windows Live Essentials.
