I'm new to Windows 7 but that is what is on my new PC. When ever I open my e-mail it is always minimized; this is using Windows Mail hotmail. My old PC used to do that after repairs sometimes but would always go back to large screen after a few times of maximizing it. Really getting old. Any ideas? 
 
I am now unable to access my 10 year old Hotmail account.  Last Friday I bought a new laptop with Windows 8 on it.  I thought I used my correct email when setting up my computer, but now it has a new weird email address that appears on my sign in screen of my laptop.  My new weird  email automatically switched to Outlook and now I am no longer able to log into my old Hotmail address - it says it does not exist!  I can't help but think that my old (now missing!) Hotmail account is gone because of this Windows 8/Outlook setup.  #1 - I want my old Hotmail address back and active which includes TONS of saved emails.  #2 - I want this new/weird email disasociated from my new laptop and old email address.  I have been looking into this for the last 48 hours and found no help online PLUS no tech support phone number.  This whole mess is very frustrating, bad for business (I have emails going to that "missing" account that I need) and disappointing.  Someone please help restore my old account.  I have used it for 10 + years.
 
 
Embeded pictures do not open in emails( ie9). I have reset all to defaults . I have also checked  show picture in internet option- Advanced.  Just started not showing pictures , just shows grey box. Please help
How do I reset my clock on hotmail? The time stamp I get on messages doesn't match real time.
Thanks!

I am getting emails that look suspicious too me, telling me that my account will be closed unless I provide information that I believe would support identity theft. I do not want my account to close, but I do not want to fall prey to a fraud scheme either. Is this email valid? If so, is there I way I can correct the problem without simply replying to an unknown sender? The text of the latest one is below:

With the new Outlook look to Hotmail, is there an 'out of office' facility anywhere?
TODAY I JUST CANNOT SEND EMAILS. WHEN I CLICK IN "NEW", THE WINDOW DOES NOT OPEN. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON? THANKS.
