I have a small laptop running Windows7 Starter but Windows Live Mail is not working properly after a series of three critical updates. I could possibly use System Restore to get me back to an earlier system that worked, (haven't tried yet) but what would happen about those system updates. Would Windows proceed to install them all again and perhaps recreate the same problem???
Or is there a better option for tackling this problem?

Altho I have been using windows live mail successfully for a couple yrs with my Win 7 computer, I cannot email a web page thru the windows live mail software. When I right click on the web page and then click on the "email with windows live'' box, I am asked to sign in to my microsoft outlook acct. which I don't have. I have tried to sign in with my windows live ID and PW but that does not work. However, I was able to sign into this microsoft community account using my windows live ID and PW. Why?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have checked and re-checked my email and port settings, and they are correct---the same for all 3 accounts. There are no drafts sitting in the outgoing mailbox. I use the latest version of Firefox (v.23) and Avast anti-virus. I have turned off my anti-virus and Windows Firewall, but the problem persists. I've uninstalled and re-installed Live Essentials, but that doesn't help. I'm at my wits end. Please help.
I got a hotmail.com email address and I use Windows Live Mail (Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.0308)) which I believe is the latest and www.outlook.dk and the calendar function is not working very well.
With Windows Live Mail there is no way to import/subscribe/remove .ics so I open my browser and login to calendar.live.com/calendar/calendar.aspx and then click import and then subscribe where I add the .ics link and calendar name.
I have successfully subscribed with the exact same link using Google's Gmail and with a desktop gadget named Windows Live Calender Gadget.
So the link is working.
I wish to subscribe to following .ics link, but it just won't work.
https://services.tamigo.com/Calendar/56xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Calendar.ics
NB. Note I have exchanged some unique signs with "x" in this example.
I've also tried removing the "s", so it just starts with "http://" but it still won't work.
Please help, I'd really like to have an updated calendar using Windows Live Mail.
Thanks!

I always used Hotmail (now Outlook as of a few months ago) because I could access it with my Windows Live ID from any computer. I always believed I could not access the Outlook 2010 and the cool calendars, etc from the Microsoft suite from other computers so I really never activated it.
Are they all the same? Is it a matter of preference over which has the coolest tools?
I use SkyDrive extensively to store my files in the cloud but don't understand the connection with Outlook other than I can access it from the Hotmail/Outlook.com email page.
So, is it all the same more or less?
