Messenger chat question

02. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , , , , ,

I have just purchased a new Windows 8 PC that came with Messenger on it.  How do I voice chat with it?  So far I can only find a way to text

messages to friends?  I can find no options to set up a video session or set up the microphone?  I can't even find out what version of Messenger

I'm using.  Am I trying to make the wrong program work like my old MSN Messenger, that I could chat and video messages with?

My weather info on my calendar gives me info for Bangor, Maine, I live in Arizona. How do I change that.
I tried changing my location in my profile but that did not work. I don't see any other way to change
location.

Editing someone’s name on the contact list

How do I edit some one's name on my contact's list? Why is the new contact list set up the way it is without any easy access to someone's name? Some things work just fine and don't need a so called upgrade!

Windows Live emails printing off in too large of type (14 to 16 point)

Cannot find a way to reduce the Windows Live font size. It changed on its own from 10 point to 14 - 16 point about a week ago. One diagnostic check said "windows live file corrupted". Virus checks come up okay. System health listed as good. Anyone have any ideas?

recovered windows live mail contacts, but how to open and retrieve the info?

I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 over the weekend.  I was forced to do a PC refresh and re-install Windows 8 a second time in order for it to work on my laptop.  I find now that the PC refresh erased my Contacts from Windows Live Mail that I was using on Windows 7.  I am able to recover the Contacts files from my online backup prior to the upgrade.  But is there a way for me to import them into the People app or at least to open the file to get the info to manually add some of my contacts into people?  I have lost some important email addresses that I did not have stored elsewhere.  They were backed up.....

Live Mail Duplicate Contacts – Muliple Imports with different file names

30. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , ,

Unfortunately, in copying a contact file from my primary PC to a backup, I used a new file name (simply changing the date). Unfortunately, where I had 400+ contacts in the back-up to start, I now have 800+. Instead of replacing the old contact file when I imported an updated one, it added the 2nd contact file..............creating 400 duplicates. Any suggestions for an easy way to eliminate the duplicates? The "clean up contacts" button remains grey in color, and will not respond to a click.  

 

A second question is -Can I go into the software and delete the 2nd file I imported? Let's say file #1 was named "backup10-11-12"  and the second file was "backup10-15-2". Can I delete the latter to eliminate the duplicates?
